Well, let's talk about that... assuming that Christianity is true (which I do, and since you asked for a Christian input, that's the starting assumption), God has created everything for his own purpose and his own enjoyment. So the galaxies were made by Him for His own purposes. I think part of that purpose is that, by realizing what a huge expanse of space there is, and how many millions and millions of stars there are, we would start to have a grasp of God's creative ability. I believe that God created the universe through the Big Bang, and so I believe that those other galaxies are part of His creation, but I don't believe that they necessarily have to sustain life.
