our universe and ALMIGHTY GOD

Post #1

Post by * »

hi everyone!

our universe is made up of over 50 billion galaxies and that there are 100 million earth-like planets in just 1 galaxy. so the number of earth type planets in our universe = 100 million times 50 billion. how come God created this vast universe and its 100 million times 50 billion earth-like planets and only made life on earth and chose to dwell on it forever with mankind. why an infinite God on a tiny earth-like planet? is it possible that out of the 100 million times 50 billion earth-like planets, none of them have life?

comments? :smileleft: ;) :smileright:

If God existed, then why would he make Earth and put people on it? Why wouldnt he just put all of the people in heaven? Or why wouldnt he make himself a co-existence among the humans to help them get rid of sin, or be there to help us beleive? Does it seem fair to you that if we dont beleive in him, we get eternally damned in hell's flame? God never gives us proof that he exists, and he just expects us to just either be lucky and find the right religon or were screwed? If there was a man that was born in like iraq or something and he had to pick the religon everyone else was practicing and he was a really good person, would he go to hell?

Yes, it is possible. Until we know for sure if life is elsewhere in the universe, we cannot rule out all other possibilities.

i read the bible and i'm not sure if i can find the right answer for you,, but i believe that God has given every person a sense of right and wrong to a certain extent.

When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. romans 2:14-16

i believe that God is absolutely fair and will not send someone to hell forever if they never heard of the Gospel. however those who have never heard of the gospel will still be judged by the law since every person has the law or conscience of right and wrong. also i believe that if God were to just tell everyone He existed without faith, then this would probably abolish free will, everyone then would not have the choice to obey or rebel against the creator. if everyone knew that God existed and the sovereignty and great love He possesses, i think the ability to choose between obedience and rebellion and free will, will be negated to a certain degree.

thanks! :hug:

I have two questions.

One; where did you get the 50 billion galaxy figure?

Two; does your 100 million earthlike planet figure take into account distance from a star, or just terrestrial similarity, because distance from a star has an equal or greater effect on the development of life than physical characteristics?

Valid Questions, but not very interesting, as the size of the Universe still gives us such a number that it would be ludicrous to state that no other planet would have life on it.

You're right, and I agree; there's not a doubt in my mind that there's life on some other planet...

My objection is more in the fact that you're using fairly specific numbers, and when asked where they came from, you replied by saying it doesn't matter. You're right, it doesn't matter, but I just feel that if the numbers you're using are unreliable or completely fabricated, it takes away from the credibility of your opinion on the matter, whether or not I agree with it.
