Concepts of God: universe too big for Him? (The nature of a \'Creator\')

DAVID: It is you who are missing my point. The authors are saying God had no reason to make the universe so big. How do they know that? Is it their sense of wonderment at how amazing and massive it is? It brings to mind your approach to evolution as a massive spectacle for God.

dhw: I thought your point was that humans are the only folk who can study why we are here, so God made the universe for us, whereas my point (linking up with theirs) was that if humans were the reason for God creating the universe, why did he need to create billions and trillions and zillions of solar systems and stars that came and went for nine thousand million years before he made the Earth?

Go back and look at the original entry in this series. They use quotes from the Bible to make assumptions about God and the universe and then support atheism by saying the universe is too big.
