it was reported that there are now over a billion galaxies and more stars than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth. Untold numbers of those stars (suns) have solar systems circling them. How is it possible to believe that a creator god selected this insignificant little planet to be the proving grounds for his pet project? In the grand scheme of things, this entire solar system of ours is beyond microscopic. Isn't it just man's need to have some meaning that drives him to invent gods that give him some importance?

I usually love the History Channel, but was throughly disappointed. Watched it...and, being a skeptic, I thought the whole thing was biased. Furthermore, they left out a whole bunch of theories. They picked the ones that they thought they could debunk (but even on those they left some things out). There were several that I personally think there may be some fact in, but left them out. Furthermore, most of the "experts" they interviewed were...get this, employed by the government to do research on the attacks. I think there just may be something wrong with that. Also, it was propaganda for the right....all it did was evoke emotion that had NOTHING to do with the theories. For example, they didn't interview any of the many people who lost loved ones on 9/11 and believe the government played a part in it. Just people who were offended. I'm personally offended at the obvious bias in that piece of "journalism."

The point is that the Creator created everything. In my view, all those planets and systems and all the variety of life forms that do or could exist, are God. It is up to us to care and learn and do what we do. That's what it is to be a human.
Each of us manifests for and from God. We are part of God's experience, part of a whole, which includes every particle or energy wave and the lack of it, too.

I saw Neil DeGrasse Tyson use that "grains of sand" analogy the other night on the Daily Show. Fascinating stuff.

It could be man's need. It is human nature, I think, to invent a being that can explain the unexplainable to themselves.
I don't think that we are the only life in the universe.
Interesting question my friend. You made me think and question.
I keep coming back to He has made himself known to me.
Hugs to you and yours!

I just want to know who counted all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world.
Ok, to answer your question. It doesn't change my belief in Spirit as I've always believed we aren't the only beings around. It's just inconceivable that we are the only beings to exist.

Yeah, we "humans" think we are IT and everything is for are benefit! It's like the old religious belief, that the everything revolves around humans not humans revolve around everything else!

How self serving to think that just the Earth was his pet project. Did he not create the Eartha and the Heavens? Could there not be other life in the Heavens he created?

Who says we are the only ones? Maybe we’re merely the black sheep of the universe who can’t get it right.

If humans were god's major concern... then god is definitely not a very important person, in the context of this Universe.
