        Why would God choose to come down
                          to our tiny planet?

Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. It does involve the
belief that God loves man and for his sake became man and died. I have not yet succeeded in
seeing how what we know (and have known since the days of Ptolemy) about the size of the
universe affects the credibility of this doctrine one way or the other.

The skeptic asks how we can believe that God so 'came down' to this one tiny planet . . .if it is
maintained that anything so small as the Earth must, in any event, be too unimportant to merit
the love of the Creator, we reply that no Christian ever supposed we did merit it. Christ did not
die for men because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because He is intrinsically love,
and therefore loves infinitely. And what, after all, does the size of a world or a creature tell us
about its 'importance' or value?”  

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither
the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God 
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 8:38-39  

“Not because I am intrinsically worth dying but because He is intrinsically love”
