It’s a great question why the universe is so big. Why are all the stars?
To be honest, I don’t know.
But maybe God created all that to illustrate Himself to us and also for our learning purposes. For example, He used the stars in the heaven to illustrate to Abraham that the offsprings will be numerous. God created bees to show how individually everyone plays a part in a big picture and that even tiny insect like bees, God had His hand in. Same goes with farming, to illustrate His point about gleaning and teach people to trust Him with things like weather that we have absolutely no control over.
Like I mentioned in the post Greatness for the Insignificant, the big universe is to show how insignificant we are but yet how the almighty God cares for a personal relationship with us.
Maybe all the planet and things actually exist to create the perfect living condition on earth.
At the end of the day, we just won’t know the whole answer to Why. His ways are higher than ours. So then does it prevent us from believing God, since we don’t know it all? Well, maybe…or maybe not. I often think, if I was able to understand everything that God knows, then He really isn’t that big. Do you really want to put your whole life in my hand? Seriously now. I don’t even want to myself. lol
We all have faith. It’s just matter of what we have faith in. Simple statement like ‘God doesn’t exist’, well that’s a faith too. Same goes with faith in science, or faith in men.
Personally for me, none of the books or debates or theories did it for me to prove that God existed. It was time after time, the personal encounters that slowly broke away the unbelief. Truth is, if it wasn’t for the lowest of lows in my life, if it wasn’t for those moments when everything seems so dark and hope seems so faint, I wouldn’t have came that close face to face with Him.
