How small we really are?
To think that we are the most important thing in the universe seems kind of egotistical to me.

Plus. If there existed no sin before adam and eve. Then their fall effected the entire universe. So some planet, billions of light years away which didn't have sin; now does?
That, or i don't think christians can believe in life on other planets.

Christians only believe what their chosen bible tells them to believe.

You say some planet 200 billion light years away now has sin, you are assuming that there is life there. There is no proof of life out there, scientific or otherwise. As vast as the universe is, we will never know it's boundies, provided there are boundries.
How is it that by accident, there is a big bang and ALL the conditions are pricisely so that a planet can sustain life on it's own. Gravity to hold things on it's surface, atmosphere to provide air for breathing, correct mixture of day and night and the 4 seasons to allow all life, plants and animal alike to multiply.
All of these conditions are so precise that if the characteristics of our Earth or galaxy were fractions off, none of what is here would be able to exist. Coincidence, I think not, and more and more scientists are seeing it the same way.

If I weren't a Christian I would want to be. The reason? Your first question. I like being important to the Mind that created the universe. You would prefer to consider yourself an oxygen using, fleshbag. That may be fine for you, not me. If you are just a waste of skin, why do you live? For what? I live and behave in a manner that would make G-D proud because I love Him and want to spend eternity with him. It's much better than what you offer. Eat, sleep, dirtnap.
Now for your second question. Sin is a part of the human condition. If you've been paying attention to science, you would have learned these three things in the past year. One; our planet is looking more and more unique as a hospitable place for life. At least carbon based life. Two; There is not a planet within 10 billion light years that appears able to sustain any form of life, even for life forms that are silica based. So I guess we would have to tell Mr. Sagan that, yes, it is a waste of space. IF there are life forms on other planets, they are probably not human, therefore, they would not suffer the same sinful struggle we do. Three; not only are we able to observe these things, but, we are uniquely positioned within our galaxy to do the observing. Coincidence? I think not.
Lastly, you don't even have to leave the earth to understand this. Do lions sin? Of course not. Therefore, carbon based life forms that are HUMAN are the only ones who enjoy the mercy of Jesus Christ.
It is obvious you are neither a scientist nor a philosopher. In the future, leave these types of questions to people who have given these items serious consideration. Asking a goofy question, which you believe debunks thousands of years of faith, now, THAT is egotistical.

400 billion stars in our galaxy; if we could determine if a star had planets at a rate of 1 per second, it would take around 12,600 years to survey all the stars in our galaxy. There are approximately 400 billion galaxies varying in size from 100 billion to over 400 billion stars each. It's not unlikely that there is life out there somewhere.

God created the stars in the heavan at the end of a day, kind of just on a whim...now scientists are trying to prove the theory that the stars are suns like our own some even bigger...But I know the real truth....They are fireflys that got stuck up there.
Believe in me

I totally agree.
I believe that God is the God of the entire universe...and I do believe that there are other planets with life on them.
I think "the fall" was a cosmic occurrence...that is, it happened all over the universe at the same time...and that is why there is "entropy".
I believe that the appearance of God in the world was also a cosmic occurrence (that is, it happened on every inhabited world at once), and that salvation is universal, not just belonging to this one bit of rock.
And, when God says "Behold, I am making all things new" that He is referring to ALL things...not just this one planet.
Now, that is just one woman's opinion, for what it's worth...but you do know, now, that not all Christians are arrogant enough to think that this earth alone, among all of God's grand Creation, matters to God.
EDIT:
The point is, each one of us matters to Him.
Including you.

Yes. The universe is infinite, and I do understand that as much as any human can understand what "infinite" really means.
Egotistical? On the contrary: it is very humbling to me to know that the same God who created the entire universe and flung stars out into its outer reaches, created and loves tiny little insignificant me.

Well, I'm not Christian, but I still think we're the most important thing in the universe. Why shouldn't I?

yes now all of the other planets in the world are suffering because of adam and eve.
now all of the other planets are dens of vice.
where technology ran supreme is now laid waste to drunken debauchery and sexual scandal.
because of us and god's great experiment.

you will see...when the universe has it's first contest it will be a poker championship, poker is from the debil.

God made all the stars and named them. Human scientists are trying and will never accomplish this. Christians have a philosophy of life which makes us better persons. God saved the Aliens, etc for the X-files.
