EvC Forum: God and the size of the universe.

So far as I understand God created all that exists for man (am I wrong in that assumption?), if that is the case then why is the universe so vast? Seems to be a huge waste of space seeing as how man's purpose (whatever that is) should be achievable on Earth.

Maybe God has other projects going on in other parts of the universe?

To begin with, I applaud your method of asking questions. I am assuming that you are not looking for the "correct" answers to such a philosophical topic since there likely are none!

Four Reasons Why Questions are Better than Answers

Rather than looking for answers per se, except to learn how others think, lets compile a list of questions, shall we?

1) IF God exists, is God concerned primarily with humans and humanity, or was that something that WE read into it?

2) Is there intelligent life in other parts of the universe? Are we humans making the same error we made in times past, where we thought that the Sun went around the earth?

What I'm trying to get at is why would God create one small habitable zone in a massive dead universe? Whats the point of all that useless space out there? I'm not asking why the universe is the size that it is, I'm asking why would GOD make it that big?

3) If God exists, what characteristics does He?She/It have?

MOST current day Christians seem think of the Bible as the Word of God, regardless of who wrote it.

4) IF God exists, is it possible to communicate with Him?(Her,It)

Imo, it's arrogant of itty bitty humans, existing on this speck in our Solar System called Planet Earth, which is a tiny speck in our Milky Way Galaxy, being, itself a tiny speck amongst all of the existing billions of galaxies, etc, to think that theirs is the highest level of existence existing in this vast wonderful Universe.

Which brings up many questions...namely, will God wipe out the entire universe for the benefit (or judgement)of earth?
