Sentient life in the universe

So out of the 100 billion stars in our own galaxy, not to mention all of the stars in the millions or hundered of millions of galaxies in the known universe, our sun is the only one to have a planet upon which there is sentient life?What did God make all of the rest of the universe for, then?

I wonder. From any given point on Earth, there are at best about 2500 stars visible to the naked eye. All told there are fewer than 10,000 total stars that can be seen unaided. That's such a small fraction of the total number of stars even in our own galaxy as to be negligable. Is your assertion that the entire universe, most of which can never be directly seen by human eyes, exists just because from our vantage point on the outer edge of one arm of this particular galaxy the few stars that we can see look pretty at night?I include two versions of the following picture for reference. It's worth looking at in detail, even if by necessity the full jpeg that the thumbnail links to is pretty huge. Enjoy. ABE: As bluejay points out, the thumbnail for the full version still loads as a ridiculously huge image. Here's a link instead.Edited by ZenMonkey, : Deleted thumbnail of giant jpeg.

Giant jpeg gone, replaced by easy link. Thanks.
