Is this tiny speck called planet earth that designated final battle ground for the demise of the enemy of the universe? Could this mysterious forbidden tree in in the garden have a higher purpose known only by God in this celestial warfare between good and evil? Are we like Job oblivious to the real reason we find ourselves and our world in such turmoil, that reason being a bigger celestial struggle involving the spiritual dimension? I don't know. Just thinking out loud.

Sir, I can't help laughing when I think about this speculation of yours. Is this tiny speck called planet Earth really a final battleground of good vs evil, Luke vs Vader? God created a universe so huge and now He wants to destroy it just because of some mediocre planet. It's like I'm building myself a home just for a grain of sand to be nestled in one of its corners.
If you're thinking cosmic warfare, wouldn't it be grander to set a battleground that spans galaxies, using stars and black holes for skirmishes, and trampling thousands of planets and asteroids in the process? What a nasty joke to end the universe with a final battle here, on this microscopic home of ours. It's like a whole laboratory facility being blown to smithereens by a bacteria.
