... Wouldn't that be kind of like creating a space station when only a single steel molecule (or more specifically a few seconds of a single electron interaction) was important to you?

Who said only the Earth and humanity are important to God. I have never read anywhere in the Bible where it says we are His ONLY creation. I, for one, can't imagine a universe where this is the only planet with life on it. Otherwise what would be the point? And what does it matter if there are, or are not, other planets with life on them. I am not that selfish that it even matters to me.

The creation of the earth was for man. However, God cares for all his creation, and cries that man has become a destroyer of the earth. Have you heard that the "fabled" Northwest passage has opened up due to the melting polar ice caps?, or that the nations of the world are now arguing over drilling rights in the formerly frozen arctic? This should alarm mankind, and all should look at the blue skies above.

The Book of Job tells us that God makes the rain to fall even where there are no people. The Gospel according to Luke says that God keeps account of even sparrows, and Jesus was known to use animals as examples of how God takes care of His creation. Humanity is not the only important thing to God, and Earth is not the only important place.

Where did you hear that only earth is important. God did not write the Bible for people on some distant planet at the other end of the universe. He wrote it for us. So why would he tell anything about beings out there with whom we will never interact?

Well, since we can't do a whole lot to better the entire universe, we should probably start small first. The universe isn't less important than our little bubble, but as we're kind of stuck in our bubble that's not in the best shape at the moment, we should probably focus on that.

The heavens were created to PROCLAIM GOD'S GLORY. He made them so that people would KNOW HE EXISTS! I, for one, cannot understand how someone can look up at the sky on a crisp, clear night, and not think there was a God.

Oh, the Fundies hate thoughtful questions like this. If "god" created other planets with living things on them, why was there no mention of it in the bible? Is there a separate bible for each of these other planets? If there are, are they as full of inanities as "our" bible? But...it's fun to read the non-answers of the Fundies. We all need a good laugh.

He loved us (humans) that much that in order for us to be here on this tiny little planet in all the zillions of square lightyears, so he could just be with us. Pretty loving isn't it?

Why should we assume that is true. Who knows how many planets are out there with intelligent life. Perhaps many of them have a far more advanced understanding of God.

There is more to the creation than meets the puny intellect of men who think they are wiser than God.
