As an apologist i spend much time watching debates between Christians and athiests and often find it interesting to hear the arguements of the other side. One arguement I have been hearing more recently(from the side of the athiest) is that as we look at the massive universe with all its complexity and empty space, it is absurd to think that it would have been made for humans. I have heard this arguement from famous intellectuals, such as Lawrence Krauss, Christopher Hitchens, and Richard Dawkins. In response to this proposition, I would have to absolutely agree. The Biblical account is that the universe was created and exists for the glory of God, not for humans. Although God has given us a universe to enjoy and explore(to the pleasure of men like Dawkins, ironically) it is ultimately exists for the glory of God.
To increase the irony of this arguement is that it falls right in line with one of the thiests strongest arguements, the Teleological arguement. This arguement from creation argues the fact that such an unbelievably complex universe necessitates a creator.
