If a God works on planets for a week...

Say the Earth was 5000 years old per the Old Testament.
Say it took God 7 days to make.
Say God took a two week vacation every year.
Then God could have made 250000 Earth-like planets if he applied himself.

That'd be pretty cool.

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

But if there were only 250,000 Earth-like planets in the Known Universe, the closest ones would be about several hundred million light-years apart. So, being separated by several dozens of galaxies, each and every one of the 250,000 Earth-like planets would no doubt be thoroughly convinced that they themselves were the only inhabited one in the Universe, and that they were God's 'chosen' people, made in His image.

So God would get no recognition whatsoever from all that extra effort. No kudos in his performance review, no raise, no annual bonus. Not much incentive for one to apply oneself. wink
