Why would God create billions of other galaxies?

[hangover]

If this is the only marble in the universe with "so called" intelligent life on it, why are there so many other solar systems in this galaxy? And why are there all those other galaxies?

The earth spins at 1,500 kilometers per hour. The earth travels around the sun at 100,000 kilometers per hour. Our solar system travels through the galaxy at 500.000 miles per hour. Feel dizzy?

If there isn't a God in control, man there should have been a collision by now.

There are collisions all the time. Just look at how many craters are on the moon.

100 million years ago is hardly "all the time", but only a moment to an eternal God. But yeah, there are other far off galaxies that collide into each other, that they have seen on telescopes....which also happened long before we actually saw them happen, because of the space time thing. The light we see from those galaxies, took millions of light years to reach us. So the question remains....why do they exist at all if humans are all there is?

 

[Fueri]

why the assumption that we are it?

Allowing for the premise of intelligent design in terms of why there are multiple galaxies/solar systems, I'd say any engineer designs redundancies or he's not much of an engineer.....

Give it time . . . our Milky Way Galaxy is presently on a collision course with the galaxy of Andromeda.

God read USMB and said, "Fuck! How could I get it so wrong?"

Plenty of collisions, they created this marble and our moon.
Extinctions have been part of our past and no doubt will be part of future.
From ice to rocks, from a grain of sand to the size of a large island.

Part of nature

Stars are so widely spaced that galaxies merge rather than collide.

What makes me wonder is why people believe the universe is "young" when we can see billions of years into the past. Is God just trying to trick us?

When you try to logically evaluate religious beliefs, God often seems to be a bit of a dick.

Perhaps God made the universe so big so that it would humble us.

If so, it didn't work.

It is belied that there are much older universes beyond ours, and newer ones

The universe and everything in it is expanding. Galaxies are moving farther away.
Many evangelicals will still tell you that the world is only six thousand years old.
Thanks to Einstein, the distance of the light from a star is measured by the speed of light, which tells us how long it took for that light to get to us.
Much of the light we see from other galaxies takes hundreds, even thousands of light years to get to us, which means the light we see happened billions of years ago.
Evangelicals call that witchcraft.
God laughs.
No tricks, just dumb humans that can't figure it out.
The more we learn, the more we don't know.

Is that theoretical or is there any evidence I don't know about?

No, it's not God that's a dick...it's those that try to define God that are the dicks. God doesn't fit in a bible.

I think the more we learn the more we have to acknowledge that the bible is not a history or science book but about theology and morality. When we try to use it for what it is not we do it (and God?) a disservice.

Maybe Jesus has been visiting many of those other galaxies, and that's why it's taken 2000 years for him to get back. Could take a couple hundred thousand years more for him to get back. Maybe we will be left to our own demise.My guess is that there is many more life forms much more intelligent to hang out with.

Dark matter has been proved to exist but nobody knows what it is because it is Dark. Dark Energy has been proved to exist but nobody knows what it is because it is Dark. Dark Matter and Dark Energy could come from a parallel Universe.

I never said God was a dick. I said that if you actually evaluate the things that many bible thumpers claim, God would seem to be a dick.

Anything is possible but, without evidence...

How did it get here from that parallel universe? And why did it? Cause and effect.
