why is there only one planet in our solar system that saports life? why waste the time on 9 planets...sorry, 8 planets and one sub-planet? why not make every planet inhabited? It seams like a waste of time if we are not going to use then?

Because God is God and He created things the way He wanted them. So the question is not if there is a God, the question is, why are there 8 planets with no life? Also we must understand that mankind classified the 9 planets. God just created the heavens and the earth.

The other planets all serve a purpose, it is just that life is not that purpose. The seven visible celestial bodies that wander through the sky are the foundation of our calendar. Each of these objects represents a day of the week, i.e. Sun-day, Moon-day, Saturn-day, etc. The other days, in English, are named after the planets based on the old Saxon and Scandanavian names.
So God did use the other planets. He's just a bit more creative than our feeble minds give Him credit.

Our entire solar system is but a speck in the cosmos.
Who knows what's out there?
In any case don't base your belief system on whether or not we're alone, out here, but rather on a relationship with your Creator.

I will answer by conversely asking you a question.
If there is no god, and things happen simply by random according to circumstance and evolution, than given the mere size of the universe shouldn't there be and have been throughout time several planets just like ours, capable of sustaining life, with that life evolving to technological advancement far greater than ours?
And if so, where is the evidence of such extraterrestrial life visiting our planet, now or in the past? You know, convincing evidence...where is it?

Some were inhabited at one time and others will be inhabited in the future.
Why do you assume all have to be inhabited at all times? When you have a farm you can not farm it all the time...or your destroy the fields.
Besides, there are countless worlds out there with life...now.
Not to mention - it looks nice.
If you painted a picture of flowers with a bee on one...a similar argument could be made. With all the others flowers, why not make every flower have a bee on it? Otherwise it seems like a waste of time...if bees are not using them all.

There are no clear answers to your questions that i can see, but perhaps these supplementary queries might lead you towards an enlightened train of thought relevant to your original question.
1.) Define "God" and why His existence hinges on us making sense of stuff he does/did.
2.) Why is a planet with life less of a "waste of time" than a planet without it?

The presumption in your question is "life as we know it."
We assume a carbon-based life form. Yet it is theoretically possible for there to be other forms of life that we have either not yet encountered or - perhaps more likely - not yet recognized.
For instance - many of the so-called parasychological phenomena over the centuries could be explained by another life form existing at a different spectrum, or a different time continuum, only occasionally overlapping into our own. Exisiting side by side with us and yet undiscovered.
So I'm not sure I can fully buy into your initial premise.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe God put those planets there for all of the things that can not survive on our world knowing that someday he would create a man that would explore and discover the natural beauty of those things and be able to share them with the rest of the world? Or maybe he just put them there well because (and you have to agree) they are beautiful to look at. God Bless. Claire

maybe Earth was a test planet to see what would happen by putting different animals together. God might make other planets inhabitable someday but right now i would say dont question God! he does things his own way and it works out in the end

Mercury will be a subplanet soon, too. All they have to do is change the definition.
Seriously, why does this matter? Why didn't God make 14 planets instead? Why not 62?
Why not really give us something to talk about and give us 666 + earth?
