What’s the purpose of space?

Postby The Free American Republic » Thu Sep 28, 2023 12:03 pm

As you know, there are thousands of galaxies and we are just a small spec in it. So what do you think the future of space is? What can we do with it? As a Christian, I believe that God created the universe and everything in it. I’ve met many religious people and they’ve said that space is not meant for humans and we should leave it alone, but then that makes me think “Why would God create all this for nothing” which leads me to believe that God wants us to explore space and colonize and utilize it. What do you guys think?

There is no inherent purpose, but the one I prefer is it being harnessed for our own use*.

I'm a big fan of God's Last Wish theory, I feel like it explains everything from free will to our purpose.

Every creation of God serves a purpose. While we may not know the purpose we should explore the vastness of space

Space I believe is a testing ground, to build us up in ways that would not be possible as a part of a single unit (monad). Like free will.

Not to play devil's advocate, but just because we follow logic does not mean the universe has to.

I'm not religious, but, aliens would explain that question. God created all this for us (as in life), just not necessarily for US.
Regardless, Space has no purpose, it just is. Well, actually it isn't, space literally doesn't exist, it's the abscence of everything. There is no reason for that absence. But still, humans should take advantage of it and when we innevitably find aliens we should lift them up instead of destroying them like we write that they'll do to us in Science Fiction.

Space is what makes or breaks relationships.

Space is this wide bar at the bottom of my keyboard. Itswhatmakesthingslikethismoreintelligible.

Space is where no one can hear you scream.

Space is inextricably linked with time.

Space is where I'm checking out to. Clearly.

Humans are the chosen people of God. It is our destiny to reach towards the cosmos and finally have it within our grasp.

I don’t think it really has a purpose. It just exists for the sake of it.

To us, however, it is meant to be observed and explored.
