Avicenna/Ibn Sina, one of the greatest minds in history, offers an easy to understand logical mathematical proof of a unique uncreated creator. Something exists that is not a composite of anything and from which the universe, a composite came. However, he doesn't explain what it is or what it means, but it does fit with the big bang.
The proof itself rests on four principles, the first of which is the assertion that something exists. Even if the world is an illusion, an illusory self, contemplating an illusory universe, is still something that exists.
Further, everything that exists does so because of some cause, and the "principle of sufficient reason" states that every phenomenon is either caused by something external or caused by itself, but never both. Everything that exists has to have a reason for existing.
Working from these principles, there is a minimum criteria for Godhood, that is, God must be unique, must be self-caused, as well as being the cause of everything else. Every existing phenomena is the end effect of a causal chain of possibly infinite length starting with God.
All known physical phenomena are composites, except possibly the elementary particles of quantum mechanics. If A is a composite of B, then B is composite, and furthermore a composite cannot be a cause of one of its components because it could not exist without all its components in place.
We can infer that the universe is a composite of all phenomena. The universe itself, then, cannot bring any of its own components into being, as it could not have existed before the existence of the components.
Then, the universe could similarly not be self-caused, since it is caused by the aggregation of its components, and so there must be some object, G, that causes the universe but is not the universe itself. G must then be universal because it is a cause, directly or indirectly of every component in the universe.
G is the unique uncaused phenomena, because, as the cause of everything, it can't be caused by something else.
The strength of this proof is that each assumption it rests on is empirically grounded and is far more reasonable than its negation.

If God exists and His Laws are true then when he asked us to be fruitful and multiply I assume he meant forever and if we continue on at the rate we are with population growth, and the rate of new science then we will need these other worlds to live on. Also have you ever thought about when the universe expends its energy from the big bang it will then come back to the state of compacted mater and explode again. If life happened by accident and evolved to see the end of such a thing then logically I have too assume with millions of years of evolution to fuel milions of years of scientific advancement that these beings would seek too survive, and if all matter is locked up in the crunch then they must have become less than matter and this may have been the catalyst for a super being who would seek to start the whole thing over again so as to propagate life and end the loneliness of being the only survivor and therefore would begin to separate into lessor parts of itself. Does this sound like a logical explanation for God and the Angels and us to you?

God created them for His glory, and so that we could see His handiwork and glorify Him.
Psalms 19:1
1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
As no man can see God and live, He created the heavens to show His power and works, that we might believe in Him. He also created them for our desire for knowledge, so that we might understand His works.
Even notice how far away we are from exploding stars, colliding galaxies, black holes, dust clouds, etc. He placed the Solar System in such a way that we can see and understand these things., but not be harmed by them.
And He created a lifeless universe so that we could understand that we are unique in all of His creation, living on a planet with the perfect gravity constant, orbit, chemical composition, sun size and magnitude, magnetic fields, etc.
Random chance? Hardly.......
So the only thing null and void is the understanding of those who believe in only on what they can see, whose minds are so small that they cannot conceptualize anything outside of their 5 senses.

Look on YouTube about the Reptilians and what some are calling shapeshifters now.
Then open a bible and re-read Genesis 3 and realize it clearly says Serpent which is a reptile. Didn't know snakes could talk like the church says.
Those same Serpents were later forced to live under the water by G_D himself. Again, bible tells us this.
Also why the bible says to make no drawings of things in heaven, under the dirt or under the sea. This means make no images of the Reptilian for they use what we call UFO's as crafts, they live under us in caves and under the seas.
Church won't accept this reality for if they do it means we are not the only ones on this planet and that means they lose all power over the masses. But what few realize is the Reptilians already control the church and that is why they do stay hidden so well.
UFO people say there are Reptilians living in caves under the earth. Bible says the same. UFO people say they fly in crafts. Bible says same thing. UFO people say these Reptilians breed humans, cook them in big vats, soak in their juices and then grind up the bones and eat the dust. Funny... bible says G_D will make them eat dust for the rest of their days.
And your comments about space... don't believe all you hear or think you know about looking up. You've been decieved since the day you were born is all I will say. The tid bit of truth above should start you on a good venture of truth seeking. And that will lead to more truth seeking.

How small to think that God would have your reasoning. There is no way to know why God created what He did, but the splendour of the universe only gives credence that there is indeed a God. Thank you for bringing up the point.

Radio waves do not travel fast enough for us to make such an assumption.
God, however, would've had to have set light that appeared to be coming from stars into motion, towards Earth, if he did it in 6000-ish years, as some fundamentalists contend.
So that God is at least purposely deceitful.

Why shouldn't God create all this for someone He loves... He is being extravagant with what He created for us... don't you ever desire to go above and beyond for those you love?
