A quote arguably attributed to the late astronomer Carl Sagan goes, "If God created the entire universe just for us, what an awful waste of space."
To that I'd counter, "The rest of the infinite universe is our God."
Some might conclude, "so is that why God made us so insignificant - to make himself seem that much bigger than we are?"
However, "We're significant in that we are the only ones in an infinite universe."
Who's with me!
The idea that God is the Universe, or that the Universe is God is contrary to the Biblical idea that God is both transcendent and immutable. God created the Universe according to the Bible, but God has always existed. God did not create any part of Himself. God is not that which He created. Nor does God change. But the Universe changes. Stars are born and die. New space is constantly being created which causes the non-gravitationally bound galaxies to move apart from each other. Since, again, according to the Bible, God does not change, but the Universe does change, than the Universe cannot be God.
There is nothing in the Bible which would suggest that life exists only on earth. The Universe could very well be full of life.
Whether our Universe is infinite, or one of an infinite number of other Universes separate from our own Universe, making our Universe part of a Multiverse, is a subject of speculation among cosmologists. If our Universe is the only Universe but is infinite in scope, that would suggest, since there is only a finite number of ways in which matter can form, that there must be an infinite number of exact copies of ourselves on planets that are exact copies of our earth, as well as an infinite number of near copies of ourselves. These would be beyond the observable Universe. There is debate among cosmologists whether we exist in a Multiverse or not, and whether our Universe is infinite or not.
In Isaiah 53:12 ...God plans to give the Messiah a portion of His Greatness .......``There for will I divide him a portion with the Great . and He will divide the spoil with the strong , because he has poured out His soul on to death , and was numbered with the transgressors , and he bare the sin of many , and made intercession for the transgressors ``........ This show God knows He is of greatness and not a man made up idea ....

Mortals really have very little clue how universes actually work. God knows exactly how they work.
In this lifetime we are degenerating. Usage of what 10% of our brains? In Gods kingdom, that percentage will assuredly increase. God created many things for our benefit. I sure am thankful he created all things with variety.

The idea that we use only ten percent of our brain is a myth. There's no truth to it.
Though an alluring idea, the "10 percent myth" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. Although there's no definitive culprit to pin the blame on for starting this legend, the notion has been linked to the American psychologist and author William James, who argued in The Energies of Men that "We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources." It's also been associated with Albert Einstein, who supposedly used it to explain his cosmic towering intellect.
“The average person uses 10 percent of their brain capacity. Imagine what she could do with 100 percent.” So reads a poster for Lucy, the 2014 action-thriller starring Scarlett Johansson. This sounds intriguing — but it also sounds very familiar. That is because Hollywood loves to revive the 10-percent myth every few years (e.g., Phenomenon, 1996; Limitless, 2011).
