Yes the earth is insignifigant. It is a meaningless speck really. Why does this have anything to do with god, again
to me with any rational reasoning it is more proof against a christian god. That is not the story the bible tells.
For the second part if there is one lesson that can be learned form the old testament, it is that people are no less moral then they were back then.

Even if the Bible were to be written in today's atmosphere with the technology and so on, God's Word would be the same (The para boles would be different, but Jesus is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever). He does not lie. Nowhere it is mentioned that there are other life forms, even though the Bible takes into account the billions of celestial bodies, et cetera.
"You have to also remember that the Bible is written 2000 years ago. They wouldn't be able to explain things like we can of anything, their minds back then were so ignorant compared to ours right now."
-God is the author of the Bible. If He wanted us to know something important, He would have told us (He has already told us that the only way into the Kingdom of Heaven is through the Son). Knowing where Heaven is just seems unimportant compared to the promises and the things God has for us. The greatest gift is the most important, and we must pay more attention to what He has already given us - His only begotten Son.
My own unimportant theory is that since earth will turn into Heaven after the city of Jerusalem comes from above, the universe of stars and so on will be ours to explore. I've taken into account that since space and the galaxy is expanding, wouldn't it be Heaven since it is also infinite in size? -A theory that could easily be wrong, as I have a mind not capable of understanding God's wonders.

God, the Father, is a highly advanced human who dwells on a planet in another galaxy. He gets his happiness by serving others. I'm sure there are other solar systems with people on them. How could we be so arrogant to think we are the "only ones"?
As for "heaven," the purpose and end of all life and creation is to exist forever in happiness, a state otherwise referred to by prophets as “salvation” or “eternal life.” It is not in God’s plan to allow us to have eternal bodies and live on eternal planets unless we can do so without causing problems for each other. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain an eternal body until we can prove by the way we live in mortality that we can be trusted not to be a problem to our fellow beings in the [eternities].
Christ is he whom we accepted as the one who would work for God in this part of the Universe, and who would make sure the eternal plan of happiness was followed. He oversees this work.
If we follow his counsel and abide by the laws we are given (which all culminate into the one Royal Law—love others as you want them to love you), we will one day be given eternal life, and live upon one of the planets of this solar system according to our individual desires of happiness.
It is obvious that we do not all have the same desires of happiness. Therefore, it is logical that there are more planets than just one in this solar system on which humankind in our exalted state may be placed, according to the various desires of happiness each of us has.
[Someday] we can live together in peace and happiness on the planets (the eternal kingdoms of God) of this solar system that will one day be made inhabitable by the advanced technology and knowledge of Those who are worthy to possess “the Book of Life.”
Could a person living hundreds of years ago have believed that there were galaxies and solar systems with inhabited planets in the mysterious sky, not to mention the truths and technologies to which we have been exposed, which not even the most learned among them could have ever imagined?
The explanation of Revelation is here (as given in the book at the site below). But unless we cut the work short in righteousness, Christ will not be here for about another 138 years or so.
Most of this answer comes directly from the book. It is free at the site below:

The Bible (no rely in case you have faith it or not) makes the case that God created all of it. He did not create the vastness of the cosmos to confuse us...on the different, the vastness of the cosmos is a mirrored image of the greatness of God. 1000's of years in the past whilst the Psalmist David reported that the celebs are too distinctive to count variety, he wasn't speaking on the topic of the seen stars that any one might desire to count variety in those days...he replaced into concerning the certainty that the actually variety of stars (that the Hubbel telescope has those days printed) are certainly, too distinctive to count variety. understanding at present that billions of galaxies exist, if one guy replaced into to count variety off the celebs in purely the Milky way galaxy (on the fee of one in line with 2d) it may take over 3,000 years. on the grounds that no person lives 3000 years, no guy might desire to place a dent interior the celebs populating the different billions of galaxies. God knew this from the start. guy stumbled in this records interior the final decade.

Yes their is people out here that still have Faith in God. I used to think like you before I was pregnant with my baby. But from experience God created this lil miracle for me. She is truely a blessing in my life. Some people just need to be reminded why they are here. Sometimes it takes a scare out of life for them to wake up. Thats what me and my husband needed. It was a wake up call. To believe in God and have faith in everything he has created.

There's no reason to believe any of this, but you crossed that line a long time ago.
All the evidence we have is that there is no intelligent life anywhere else. The only evidence of the Abrahamic God is a group of four books - each of which is fraught with scientific error, not to mention an often disagreeable protagonist. Entertaining, sure - but hold on to your wallet. I hear it's a scam.

Those stars in the night sky are not just there for us to look at ...there has to be other living beings out there because what would be the point of all those stars and planets being there in the first place.
As for the heaven thing Im not really sure...never thought about it.

I think it is unreasonable to think that in the infinite expanse that is the galaxy there are not other intelligent beings. I am sure that we will experience unifying forces that will challenge human kind and I always thought it would be encountering another intelligent lifeform. Maybe I was wrong and it was the environment's plight. :)

I definitely think there are other planets out there with living organisms on them. I do not think that heaven is there, however. To me, heaven is in another realm. I do not think a spaceship will be able to take a flight over to heaven when they extend the distance a spaceship can travel.

Yes, yes and yep I think we should get ready. Many of those Revelations have already happened!
Heaven, or so I have heard, is just past the other side of the moon.
