But why did God create that huge Universe?

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite

...

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

It didn’t start off huge.

af_vet_1981 already answered this question on Post 42, but I'll just repeat it.

The Heavens declare the Glory of God, and the Firmament showeth His handiwork (Psalm 19).

When we look at the night skies, and try to consider that this was all created by one person - the Triune Godhead - we should be struck with awe and reverence. And to just to consider that the person who created this awesome and seemingly infinite Universe careth for us - for us worms - these thoughts should drive us to our knees and just shout praises to the Lord.

I maintain that there is one 'civilization' in this dimension (I'm excluding the Heavens where the Angels normally reside) - and this is us. Man - made in the image of God at the Creation. We fell when our first parents sinned in the Garden - and the entire Universe and Creation groaneth until the last man to be saved is saved and God brings in the new Heavens and new Earth - where all will be redeemed and returned to perfection.

He needed the space?

[joethedrummer]

For His, and our pleasure.

Time. Space is time. Linear time takes up immense space.
