I've always wonder this. I want to see the answer from a religious stand point. Whats the purpose of all these planets and stars? The sun i understand and even the moon. But why would he create galaxies and other planets? for eye candy?

The Bible isnt an astronomy book its main point is in regards to your salvation, on Earth. God created the universe, and obviously other planets are apart of this makeup. Their purpose, im sure if there are people living there, they have one.

I can understand the planets and stars giving us something to look at in awe and beauty(and realize how great and powerful the God is if you a believer)....what i don't get is what is the purpose for the ENORMOUS scale of the universe?!?!:what:

Like are we really going to figure out a way to traverse trillions upon trillions of light years not to mention the massive celestial dangers that await or is space just a huge ass prison? If it's just us human beings as the sole life in the universe what would be the point of having anything beyond our own solar system?

:aicmon: nikka, there is no "god" or salvation. What's the matter with you?

You actually think some dude created us, then set up some retarded rule where he had to impregnate a 15 year old so she can have a kid that ends up getting crucified? If that's true, then "god" is an idiot.

But since that's all fiction, then it's whatever. LOL@"salvation". There is nothing to be saved from, b.

considering we've only been intelligent for about 5,000 years, and technological for 2,000, I think it's safe to say that in another 10,000 we'll be able too, and perhaps even colonize them.

we barely understand our own planet and use 7% (at best) our brains. Once we evolve to about 50%, the skies (see what I did there) is the limit. :wow:

One thing is for certain, per example of other planets, this one, won't last forever.

the bible says the stars are there to to help us mark time and the seasons. also they're there just to help men navigate :russ: basically men attributed the things they used the stars for, as given by god. the bible is the first :troll:

The Bible also teaches that God arranged the stars into recognizable groups that we call constellations. The Bible mentions three of these: Orion, the Bear (Ursa Major), and “the crooked serpent” (most likely Draco) in Job 9:9; 26:13; 38:31-32; and Amos 5:8. The same passages also reference the star group Pleiades (the Seven Stars). God is the One Who “fastens the bands” of these constellations; He is the One who brings them forth, “each in its season.” In Job 38:32, God also points to the “Mazzaroth,” usually translated “constellations.” This is thought by many to be a reference to the twelve constellations of the zodiac.

The constellations have been tracked and studied for millennia. The Egyptians and Greeks knew of the zodiac and used it to measure the beginning of spring centuries before Christ. Much has been written of the meaning of the zodiacal constellations, including theories that they comprise an ancient display of God’s redemptive plan. For example, the constellation Leo can be seen as a celestial depiction of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), and Virgo could be a reminder of the virgin who bore Christ. However, the Bible does not indicate any “hidden meaning” for these or other constellations.

The Bible says that stars, along with the sun and moon, were given for “signs” and “seasons” (Genesis 1:14); that is, they were meant to mark time for us. They are also “signs” in the sense of navigational “indicators,” and all through history men have used the stars to chart their courses around the globe.

Well, we were at the same level for 2 million years before we became intelligent. Who's to say we won't stay at this current level now for the next 2 million?:ld:

No one cares what the buy-bull says. It's a book of pure fiction. Like the Harry Potter series.
