The Christian Worldview has, as central to all things, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The historical evidence for these things is overwhelming, so let’s not waste time arguing about their veracity.

But let us consider this amazing reality. In order for Jesus to live and die, if that is, as I believe it to be, the purpose of the Incarnation, then there needs to be a stable planet for Christ to come to. A stable planet requires a stable and particular type of star, with the accoutrements of the various other planets and satellites in place. A stable star needs the support of a stable galaxy. It cannot live in isolation. It is no stretch to believe that a stable galaxy requires other galaxies for its own stability.

All of a sudden, We are in a Universe of great vastness for the Purposes of God to be accomplished. This God we worship doesn’t do anything on a whim. He has a plan in mind, even though it is assumed He has cards he ain't showing us. The closest thing I have found as a hint to that purpose is

(regardless of what its duration seems like to us) That allows for the creation of the Church for the formulation of the evidence related to showing a rebellious angel host under Satan His manifold wisdom, settling the issue forever. If ever God is again challenged, He can point to us as His evidence… and some think the Church was incidental ...
