The whole creations awaits the unveiling of. Christ.anyone have any ideas why we have an entire physical universe that boggles the mind
It can't be there just for show
Anyone think there is other life out there?

First the physical then the spiritual. Ray said God is spirit and creates the physical, but what else is there? Is there something besides the spiritual and the physical? The human mind just wont go there. Maybe its just Gods way of showing us what he is capable of. Plus none of us could ever go across our own galaxy in one lifetime much less any of the big ones that dwarf us. So life in other Galaxy's doesn't really matter if they can't get here or we can't get there. Possible…why not. Probable … not. Reality is if there were why would they want us? We have to have water to live they may not. Now of a truth I do know there is other life out there but not the little green men you are thinking of. The bible speaks of messengers (angels) from heaven … so other life yes. Just my thoughts

Question is about what we can see, not what we cant see. Angels or messengers, sports etc. have nothing to do with the universe. What reason would God have to create more than once, is He not perfect. Other life out there, I dint thank so. Man has created other life out there, not God. Ricky

As everything that God does there must be a good reason for it. Either to be destroyed soon or to be used somehow in the next ages, I'm 100% sure there's a good reason for it, the size of it, the way it was done, etc. So I believe that there's no "just for show". There's a reason, and it's probably mind blowing :)
God bless,

I think of the grandeur of the universe and the vastness beyond finding out all it's wonders is a physical shadow/reflection of how tremendous our God is. You know He could have designed this universe any way He so desired, I mean He could have created earth all alone in a kind of bubble, but He did not. He chose to show His glorious creative mind and power through the things He made.
Rom 1:20 For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Now truly I don't believe that we were designed for space travel, nor do I think that was ever intended. But hasn't God revealed the wonders and glory of this incredible universe to us without having to have a first hand view of these things? Even the prophets and patriarchs of old knew a great deal about the universe without having all of our technology to probe into deep space. How was that possible? I believe the earliest man (Adam) was taught about it and shared that knowledge and the later generations built even more upon what they knew, as we are aware of ancient charts and calendars.
So is there a purpose in all this planetary design even for us now? Aren't all events connected and affected by nature as a whole, so that planetary movement and interactions have an impact on our Earth? Couldn't that be part of the purpose of it's design? I think so, we know that that planting and harvested crops is a very old technique based mostly on the movements of the moon and was done with quite a degree of accuracy and benefit. Using planets and stars is probably the oldest form of navigation, having the stars at night, and the sun during the day. One of the greatest stories in the Bible is the story of the star of Bethlehem.
Unfortunately as a result of astrology and numerous other unscrupulous articles about planetary nonsense, this part of natural science is mostly discredited in the modern world. But even if it is clouded with this absurdity of some, it still can be considered and appreciated and recognised as the grand marval of are Creator that it is.
mercy, peace and love
