This argument should be extremely compelling to religious people.

alright. No where in scripture does God mention what is beyond earth, or beyond the sky. Our universe has an estimated100 billion galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars with several planets in each star system.

It really makes you think. God created all that just so Jesus could do his stuff in Palestine?

I dunno, maybe some knowlegable christians could resolve this which isn't really that big of a problem. This is another philosophy I came up with

I think the reason that God created the universe to be so incredibly massive and beautiful was so humans could really appreciate the awesomeness of God's creation and so we could humble ourselves before God.
