Giant Squids, Intersteller Volcanoes and Uncharted Jungles

The Rule: Humans are the central source of God's joy.

Why is it that God created millions of galaxies, uncharted jungles, volcanoes gloriously erupting on the moons of Saturn, and giant squids gracefully swimming the deepest darkest regions of the ocean? Is it because God want humans to explore? Not entirely. That is extremely presumptuous and prideful to think that humans are the reason for all of the hidden secrets of the universe. No. God makes what is known, unknown and very little known, for his joy. God is too big. God loves too much. God is too wonderful for him to find only joy in us. Of course he loves us so much he died for humanity.

God takes delight in something even if humans are unaware of it. Think of the grand canyon before the native Americans discovered it. God delighted in it before human eyes had ever seen it. It wasn't built and waited for humans.

There is more to this life than just us and our own happiness.
