Christians: explain to me why god would make such a huge universe if only intended for us?

Question

It makes no sense at all. Why would god make a universe that requires BILLIONS of light years to travel if we the protagonists and reason for its existance? All we'd need is the solar system. I don't see why any intelligent designer would make extra useless stuff.

Answer 1

Extra useless stuff? I think it's quite beautiful. God made the stars in the sky because he loves us. Consider it a gift from God.

Answer 2

Sorry to say this, but this is a question I would never accept an atheist to ask. So you say there should only be a solar system and nothing else..hmm, Do you realize that the solar system would not be able to Stand alone? The Galaxies and Universe are complex systems, of which we have understood very little. If the relative gravity forces are not there the individual pieces will collapse very fast. Also, God in the Quran tells us that there are at least two types of knowledgeable beings(with free will) those are Human beings and Jinns (spirits I guess).
Also, Allah mentions that he creates what he wishes, when he wishes. So there is no clear cut evidence one way or the other. Even if there are aliens that doesn't mean anything to a Muslim. The thing with man is that if there was only the solar system, we would have people like you complaining if there was truly a mighty God why didn't he create billions of starts, why only a few therefore this must have all been an accident cause if there were a God he would have created something magnificent.

Answer 3

The Bible is very clear why God created the universe. There are two reasons: 1) it's proof of His awsome power; and 2) because He wanted to.

Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament [earth] shows His handiwork."

Revelation 4:11b: "For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created."

Peace.

Answer 4

There is no PROOF in all christianity that the huge universe is Empty.
there are just preachers who are blind to the scriptures and are in denial about what and who and when God creates life.
it is known by some parts of many governments that Alien beings exist inside the earth and outside in the galaxy.

One general testified that there are known 18 extra terrestrial life forms that have visited the earth.
Some want to kill us just Independant day suggested
others want to help overcome our violent ways. while other are nuetral. there has been some who want to see us destroy ourselves so they can come in and take over the planet and claim it for themselves.

Answer 5

The universes teem with life , life of a kind that will stagger our imaginations. Such is a mathematical certainty.

Answer 6

Well it may well be useless, but think about this ....

What if you could see the end of the universe, what do you think you would see?

GOD the creator of the known universe?
or
Someone / something else?

Another dimension?

Aliens?

Just exactly what would you find?

Some questions for thought.

Answer 7

Ding!

"What does he win, Johnny?!"

"A trip to Florence, Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance and the awakening of the Western mind after 1500 years of the Abrahamic nightmare!"

All the best,

Laz

Answer 9

Only God know the answer to that question. Has man been able to study the entire universe? NO----therefore, how do you know what is or isn't out there?

Answer 10

So why did the Western Church chose December 25th? The decision may have been aimed at displacing pagan worship. Throughout history, many pagan celebrations have fallen on (or near) the December 25th date. Sol Invictus, the "unconquered sun god," was one of the central gods worshipped by the Romans in the 3rd century. Under the Emperor Aurelian, this god was elevated, and December 25th was celebrated as his birthday.

The Roman winter festival of Saturnalia, focused on the god of harvest, and replete with licentious behaviour, was held from December 17th through 24th. Around this time of year, the Babylonians had celberated the birth of the son of the Babylonian queen of heaven, and the Egyptians, the birth of the son of Isis. On the 24th of December, the Arabs celebrated the birth of the moon, which they worshiped. The Anglo-Saxons, according to Hislop, observed what they called "Yule-day" on the 25th of December, "long before they came in contact with Christianity." Before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, December 25th was the first day of the Anglo-Saxon year. "Far and wide in the realms of paganism," writes Hislop, "was this birth-day observed."

Pagans for centuries had been celebrating, in December, the birthday of some son or sun. Why? Why was the whole diverse realm of pagandom focused on a son/sun? Could they have been unkowingly thirsting for Christ himself, who was sent to show light unto the gentiles?

Christians probably adopted this date to take the focus off the SUN and put the spotlight on THE SON. This may have enabled them to more easily the pagans and to offer new Christians an alternative to the temptations of the raucous pagan festivals. This is not an unusal practice. Today, some modern Protestants often celebrate the harvest or the Reformation on October 31, in order to offer children an alternative to Halloween. The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles also shared the date of a pagan festival--that of the Canaanite Vintage festival. Instead of venerating Canaanite gods, therefore, the Jews praised the one true God for liberating them from bondage in Egypt
