Alright so I'm reading this book on the universe. Apparently it's huge. Millions of planets, stars and hundreds of galaxies and celestial bodies and in between them nothing but light years of nothing. It's got me thinking. If God created all of this why did he create it? Why would he create such a big playground knowing we'd be using less then 1% of it. I'm sure there must be at least ONE other habitable planet in this universe but the chances of finding it are small. At least from what I've read. So I've been wondering. Why did God create such a large 'environment' for us to live in knowing we'd likely never see most of it? I've traveled around the world and I've seen many places and I know why humans create buildings, roads, agricultural fields, hospitals and everything else they build. It's because they're going to use it and they want their children to use it. But we're not really 'using the universe'. We're using 'one' planet in that universe leaving the rest of it virgin and unexplored. So what was the point in creating such a large place for a creation that would never use it? I don't want any bible references just your honest ideas.
