Those thoughts are fine... the inverse of that argument, is that in an infinite universe and and omnipotent creator, it is kind of presumptuous of US to believe that EVERYTHING is just for our benefit.
Of course, since Mankind's recorded history is no more than 10,000 years or so (call it 20,000 for arguments sake) and it is a real coin toss to say we'll still be here in another 10,000 years, that in a universe where distances are measured in 100's and MUCH more years at light speed. Tiny piece of human time on Earth is nothing compared to the times the rest of the universe has been out there.
God would have to be Infinitely patient as well.
BTW, when I say Mankind's recorded history... I mean of Human Beings... I firmly realize the millions of years of dinosaurs that preceeded us.
The 20,000 years, is the period of time I'd think that aliens would have to find us and consider us 'sentient life' However, considering some of the helpdesk calls I get, that is a different topic for discussion...
