Curious... Why so many planets?

StifflersErSlayersBrother

I usually for some reason wake up pondering on my life and coming up with questions about certain things... This morning I looked out my window and thought... If god made earth for humans to live on.. Then why did he create Billions, and Billions of planets inside billions and billions of galaxies? If earth is the one out of ALLLL these planets that has life on it... why?

We don't necessarily know that the planet we call Earth is the only one with life on it. It's the only one we know of so far.

But you have raised a good question as to why so many planets and galaxies are out there. My theory is that it's to do with dynamics - in other words, it's all so that things don't get out of kilter.

Maybe some of the scientists here can explain it better.

Hello, SlayerDude... and may you have peace.

Earth... is the only place where PHYSICAL life exists. And it is a 'touchstone' if you will. In the spirit realm, although their are governments, principalities and terrorities, such realm encompasses all of the physical universe... and more... including the world of the dead, Sheol/Hades.

If we, as a species, can BARELY exist together in peace on this small orb of sticks and stone, why in the WORLD would my Father, the creator of it all, spread it throughout the physical universe? We would all be annihilated, by our species' greed and selfishness. But, once such 'mentality' and 'spirituality' has been 'refined', so as to delete any such tendencies, the universe is ours to occupy.

This reminds me of my favorite 'Far Side' cartoon:

There's this wide open field with a slight rise in the background and a tree in the foregound. There is a large jar in the center of the field, broken open, and a group of 'humans' that appear to have come from the jar running rampant toward the hill, arms waving wildly and madly in the air. Then, there are the words appearing to come from the heavens: "OOPS!"

Take care, and may JAH bless!

P.S., the planets in our particular solar system possess their respective size, particular substance and atmosphere, and are set in their respective places to provide the proper and necessary 'balance' in light, heat, gravity, force, etc., for the entire 'system' to sustain physical life... on THIS planet. ABC's, truly, and not 'rocket science'.

Well, thats all well and good of a theory, but have you ever watched star trek? After the discovery of life on other planets earth stoped in the middle of a war and reach a new level of civilization. Im not saying that a science fiction story is real or ever will be. Im just saying that that is more of a percievable concept if there is life out there, as to what would happen to our society. Not the continuation and heating up of war. I also very seriously doubt that a planet smaller than pluto on the other side of the universe has to do with why earth hasnt lost its atmospheric conditions. The only planet in my opinion that has any effect on earth is Jupiter, the bigass comet, astroid, and meteor vacum of our solar system.

AGuest,

Prove it...that Earth is the only planet with physical life.

logical

Shaneliza...

Prove that earth is NOT the only planet with physical life. I totally agree with AGuest, if life cannot exist peacefully on one tiny little planet, then why spread it out across the universe?

Actually, AGuest... what is the deal with the face, pyramids, tunnels on Mars? The asteroid belt (is it really an exploded planet?)

Hi What's Your Name,

What does your name signify?

I love your picture--anyone ever tell you that you resemble David Duchovny aka Fox Mulder? It's uncanny.

My reasoning on the planets is that it just is, there is no god and grand plan, and we don't know why there is a universe at all.

A related question I thought of yesterday was the natural antifreeze that some fish (Antartic Mackerel for one) in the Artic and Antarctic have.

Now, if god created everything in paradise conditions, why would he have created creatures who could live in freezing conditions. What need would there have been? According to WTBS rationale, the cold came after the flood. It doesn't work to say that these critters adapted to the freezing conditions, all within one year. They would simply die if they were suddenly subjected to freezing temperatures.

Try putting a lot of different fish used to warm waters in sub-freezing temperatures and see how many live.

Yet, another example of a need for a miracle from god, since he quit creating on the 7th day.

A good question, and one I've thought about too. In my opinion, the universe stands as evidence that the Bible is not true. It's Earth-centric view of the universe stands in stark contrast to the reality of the universe.

What purpose do stars serve? Something to do with humans? Not at all, for we humans can barely see the tiniest fractions of the quadrillions of stars that actually exist. The vast majority are entirely outside our view or knowledge. So do the stars have something to do with spirit creatures? Well, since they are spirit creatures, physical elements aren't what they live in or around. They can see physical objects, but is that the purpose of stars? To make some pretty for the angels to look at? Hardly! Not only would this be a massive expenditure of energy for the purpose of making something "pretty," why would we think that a spirit creature would view as pretty the same things a non-spirit creature would?

Then, too, there is the problem of the life cyles of stars. They are born, they burn, they either die a slow death or explode at the end. All of them, including our own sun. Since nothing humans did on earth could have affected the outside universe, it is evident that the universe exists as God intended it to exist. That is, God made stars to have a normal lifetime and then burn out. Including our own sun. Unless God is going to step in and prevent our sun from doing its normal thing, which God supposedly made in the first place. So which is it? God wants stars to burn out, or He doesn't? If He doesn't, did He make a mistake in creating the universe this way? Did He change his mind? Will he prevent his own natural laws from taking effect on our sun?

Then what of the planets? What purpose to they serve? To affect the earth? No, for planets in other solar systems have zero impact on earth. And the universe seems to be full of planets, just as it is full of stars.

None of this is explainable by the Bible.

So you think, that if aliens came and landed at the whitehouse (or even at Bethal, hehe) with a message of peace and knowlege That the world wouldnt change? it wouldnt see that all fights inside itself are futile? That all can get along with peace and harmony and learn to share its resources amongst its population? That somehow, we would just get mad and blow the f*ck out of the aliens and keep on fighting ourselves? You think our society is that stupid (Bill Clinton, and all other presidents aside) I somehow have a little bit more faith in the people of this planet to stop fighting
