That's not right. God just wants it to LOOK like the universe is that big and has that many galaxies/stars/etc. It's what the video game industry refers to as a "sky box" that adds "flavor" and "immersion". Really the Earth is the center of the universe and is only 6,000 years old. Oh, and it's flat.

is NOT located at the center of the Universe. Heck, it's not even near the center of its own galaxy. It's not even the center of its own solar system. The Earth is an insignificant rocky water planet and humans are fleeting inhabitants. We matter ONLY to ourselves, so we'd better try to get along together, I think.
