Doesn't this video make you wonder why God has such a preoccupation with little old insignificant Earth?

How do you know god is not worshiped and also takes a keen interest in every other inhabited planet out there? After all he made them all in a blink of an instant.

If God is God, he can preoccupy himself with anything he wants. He's freaking God, right?

I believe those were all galaxies each containing around 100 billion stars. Would have been better (for your point) if they had zoomed in on our little galaxy, then zeroed in on our unspectacular sun positioned within one of its spiral arms.

Why would God make a universe with billions of galaxies containing billions and billions of stars and planets, to only populate Earth with man?

I never said that only Earth was populated. I'm simply saying that if "God" thinks we're interesting (as opposed to an ocean-world filled with fish), then he can preoccupy himself with us all he wants.

If there is an observant or intervening god he could probably multi-task pretty well and be preoccupied with many places at once IMO.

No wonder Jesus hasn't been back yet, he can't remember where he parked!

I love how believers oscillate haphazardly between positing a deity who is unknowable and mysterious and one who exhibits distinctly mammalian character traits.

I hope the book he left the other planets is a little less ambiguous.

Wait...are you suggesting that I believe that all mammals know how to park?
