If religion is real, what purpose do other galaxies and planets serve?

Few centuries back somebody living in the other side of Atlantic could have asked such question why such a huge landmass need to exist on the other side. Now we know that America "needs" to exist. Few decades later we may as well populate Mars and few centuries later Jupiter/Saturn etc. The question won't then be a challenge for those who believe in God. But what do you think the meaning of your life? Just curious...

I too had become fascinated with galaxies and had also asked the aged-old question, "What is the purpose of so many galaxies?" We often question the existence of God because of our limited understanding of life. The truth is we will never understand everything. If you follow the trend, generational stage becomes more knowledgeable of our history and are able to made accurate prediction of our future. Look at how long it took for us to learn about the development of earth. And now, National Geographic has a video on how the earth will look in the next million years. Secondly, contrary to popular belief, God and science do not conflict. They work hand and hand. We always try to prove one or the other and fail miserably. There is a purpose for the existing galaxies, if it is not already in action. Is there life there? We will one day know. Unfortunately, neither you nor I will live long enough when this development happen. I for one would like to take a peek and see what is exactly up there.

God Says in Quran that he created earths and heavens (universes) and he put living creators in it. So there must be living creators in earth and in many other globes or other areas of universe. Also God mentions that he created it to think ourselves and understand the Creator and maintainer of the huge massive universe(s) and its different parts and how powerful the creator is. When you analyze scientifically you can understand how accurately designed the revolving and motions of each planet and they are not collapsing to a destruction. This all implies a powerful creator and planner behind it. Peace.

According to my analysis, God does not tell to what he creates planets and galaxies, we must think about ourself. Earth is protected by several layers from cold to heat millions of times hotter than usual fire, so before fraction of planets or galaxies to the earth they has no left. Calculations based on day, month, and year, the end is we obtain a variety of calendars from just seeing Galaxies planetary positions and while we're on earth and humans continue to grow until now.

God is so much bigger than you realize. God has more than a galaxy, more than a universe.Think an infinite number of universes. The universe we live in is vast. There is life in this galaxy besides us. When you have the wisdom to be able to travel the distances, you will discover. Can you really say at this given point in time that the people of the Earth are ready???? Lots of lessons are needed still. In time, man will get there. They will even terraform mars. Not quite ready yet!!

Everything exist for a reason and I believe God created us/it all. No individual in this time can answer your question because the universe is somewhat endless. We don't really know what's in it or beyond it. What is your basis in saying that nothing exist in the galaxy and space? Is the human technology now that great that it can really prove that nothing exist in outer space? The universe is mysterious just like how mysterious our sea is. As far as I know we cannot really tell what kind of creatures exist under the deepest of the Earth's sea and that's the same for the universe. We know religion exists here on Earth but we can never really tell if it exist in any of the planets or galaxies. We'll never know if someone or something might be just wondering or thinking this very same thing as us. I suggest believe what you want to believe and be comfortable with it. Sometimes it's helpful to not know everything at all I'll ask you this, if you happen to find out the truth why is everything in this world like it is, what would you do or what can you do?
