It says it indirectly in the order of creation which makes clear the purpose of the rest of the stars in the universe. They are window dressings and for signs.

NOT AT ALL.

That's acctually a galactic cluster sized stretch.

It's an extremely tenuous, ephemeral, fantasized extrapolation, inference, leap of rationalized bias.

Arguing from silence is never a safe bet.

And, as others have documented . . . a number of verses hint much more strongly and relatively straightforwardly that such a bias is without foundation.

As I've noted . . . God promised Abraham that his kids would number greater than the grains of sand on the seashore.

And, it is clear from the NT that righteous Jews and Christians will rule and reign eternally with Christ--judging even angels.

This little planet is not remotely able to house that many chiefs--much less that many chiefs AND their indians.

And that's just one example.

An interesting, far-fetched inference, leap of bias, however. I don't think I've come across that one before.

People seem to have a real hard time with the idea of being alone in the universe. If you don’t believe in a 7 day creation happening about 6000 years ago, then there is little point in trying to use the bible to discuss this issue.
