God created the sun to give us some light, he gave us the stars for us to have something nice to look at during the night, etc. A lot of the billions and billions of planets in our Universe seem like useless rocks with no life on it.
I just asked creationists HOW God created our universe. The answer was "God spoke the universe into existence". Even though that answer made me laugh beyond my ears, i also made me wonder.
Were all those useless planets caused by a God that stutters?

Good question. Maybe they're just there so we can have something pretty to look at through telescopes. But then, what would be the point of creating them BEFORE telescopes had been invented? He could have just waited awhile for that, saved himself some bother and "poofed" them into existence after he'd rested up a bit.
Oh! I know, he created them to play pool with! "Watch this, Gabriel--Jupiter in the corner pocket." >thock<

God isn't someone we can understand completely with our limited intellect. What He does is unfortunately often beyond our figuring out, But what He does is always for a reason. Psalm 147 tells us in verse 4 that He has not only made a specific number, but also called them all by name. The stars, I mean.
There are many things we are not told, but we really don't need to know everything. He has told us all we truly need to know in His Word (and alot of things we probably don't) The answers are in the Bible. BTW- the stars were created for more than just something nice to look at. Take care.

So professor you know all these planets are useless so I guess that would also make us useless, then since you are the professor why not give us the true answer as to how the universe came about and why we are the only being in the universe and why was god created. Give us the answer we are all looking for so we can stop asking question and answering them, what, who how Mr. Professor

because he determined this one wasn't solid adequate, and really, man or woman's were slightly sh!te, so, with trial and mistake, he got down to make new planets, to be certain if he might want to do a much better job the subsequent time round. We were the prototype. The little eco-friendly adult males in spaceships were the carried out kind. God idea they were much better exciting, cos a minimum of that they had a sense of humour at the same time as it got here to faith, and the tremendous guy does like a good snigger each and every so commonly :)

I guess people say the same thing about anything they have no use for at the time. But later they recant. Like:
Cotton
Fig Leaves
The continent of Africa
Mosquito
Snails
Fish eggs
Ambigrous (whale vomit) Used to make perfume
on and on and on.

-Do you think before you write, with such infancy?
-What is it that annoys you about the beauty and majesty of creation?
-Should you not stutter a little when you face an ill wind, or a hot sun that you can't control?
-Do you stutter, when you cannot come up with an answer, and thus post --nothingness?
-What do you think we have learned from belittling post?
-Have you taught even a 1st. grader that you have at long last determined how silly God has been?
-Have you listed references that support your new theory of The "Stuttering Relativity"
-Do you think that Einstein if he were alive would have you join his team of "thinkers", what law would you present that would fit in with his proven team.
What do you have in place of God having a purpose for the entire universe, other than your silly analogy?
When was the last time you might have talked to some astronomers that have contemplated the majesty of what they view in the universe, and not come up with the foolishness you have in your contempt?
--Even though I do not agree with the creationist ideas, they deserve to be treated as thinking humans, not as children to be berated by such immaturity.
Your question does not even deserve an answer thus you have nothing but questions asked in view of your contempt!

Why do you think they are useless? The outer planets protect the inner planets from the barge of space debris. The million of other stars who know more creation like our own solar system? I can't prove it you can't either. But looking up into the night sky gives me reason to believe God made them for more than celestial navigation... Jim

God created the countless planets to bring to pass the immortality of all mankind--not just man on this earth as we know it.
By His word were the universes created, and through the divine investiture of the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, was the Creator.

Let me ask you a question. When an artist creates a masterpiece what is the point of it? At times there is some useful function for the piece but more often than not there is none other than the joy of creating something beautiful. What is the point of you?.

God made the universe for His glory
the earth being ideally situated not just for life, but for the observation, discovery, enjoyment and appreciation of the rest of the universe
It's not about us, it's about Him
If gives us a tiny glipse of the infinity and complexity of God.. and why not?
