The vastness of the universe is a tremendous expression of God's might and power. God is greater than we could ever imagine, even greater that His spectacular creation, the universe. Psalm 8:1,3,9 states,

“O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth, Who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens! …When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou has ordained; …O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth!”


The rest of the Universe was created because he wanted to show us His power and glory.


Despite spending not millions, but billions of dollars, NASA and others have not found the slightest proof for life anywhere but Earth.

Also: evolution from primates and monkeys is stupid. God created us in His image.

omg you have no knowledge of your own scripture. Ask any Rabbi or christian religious history scholar what the Psalms are. They are NOT god's words to men about the universe or peity. They ARE personal religious poems about things that concerned early Israelites, written exclusively by many Israelites overy a long period of time.

As an example: Psalm 137 which is an obvious plea to God to rectify the current Israelite situation in regards to Babylonian exile. This person is asking for violent retribution, it is a very human emotion and action. I especially like the final plea to for God to take their enemies children and bash them on the rocks. Yeah, that's clearly God's words there.

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
       when we remembered Zion.

 2 There on the poplars
       we hung our harps,

 3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
       our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
       they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

 4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD
       while in a foreign land?

 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
       may my right hand forget its skill .

 6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
       if I do not remember you,
       if I do not consider Jerusalem
       my highest joy.

 7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did
       on the day Jerusalem fell.
       "Tear it down," they cried,
       "tear it down to its foundations!"

 8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
       happy is he who repays you
       for what you have done to us-

 9 he who seizes your infants
       and dashes them against the rocks.

Now can you give me an actual quote from the Bible that says God only created life on Earth. Even you first attempt didn't actually do that.
