It's no wonder that Sci-fi is so popular.  Seems like everyone knows there is "Something" out there, and fantasizing keeps you from having to deal with God.  Who is real.  It's easier to accept UFO's and aliens and speculate on what is out there.  ET come home.  Speculation doesn't require anything.

The problem with God is that He expects something from us.  Sci-fi doesn't.

Not many people want to deal with God.  Or his expectations.

"In the beginning..."  Now there is something to speculate about.  There had to have been a beginning.  The universe is expanding.  Expanding from some moment in time.

"In the beginning, God created..."  I often wonder about how that happened.  But since there is no way to go back there and watch God as he is creating, I just accept that He did it.  It beats aliens.  It beats ET.  It beats UFO's.  It means that there was a purpose to what He did.

I know that time is irrelevant to God.  How long it took didn't matter to Him.  But eventually, He created man.  Why?

1 John 1:7a "If we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another..."

Fellowship.  The Bible says we are created in the image of God.  Could it be he just wanted fellowship with us?  Eternal fellowship with those who love Him?

John 3: 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son.  That whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

With Him.   Fellowship is what love is all about.
