Does the size of the universe prove that God doesn’t exist?

I recently came across this article. The basic argument is that humans make up such a small part of our universe that is so mind-bogglingly immense that we can’t really be living in the universe presented in the Bible (or in other major religions). Why? Simply put, according to certain philosophers, if we follow the Bible’s emphasis on humanity, we should expect a human-oriented universe. However, the universe is so big and humans occupy such a small part, that the universe really isn’t oriented towards human beings. This suggests, according to the article, that God doesn’t exist or at least the God of the Bible doesn’t exist. So, what should we say? Here are three responses: 

1. The basic premise of the article seems to be that to be important or at least be human-oriented, humans should be much more numerous in the universe. The article says, "If God is human-oriented, wouldn’t you expect him to create a universe in which humans feature prominently? You’d expect humans to occupy most of the universe, existing across time. Yet that isn’t the kind of universe we live in."
   
   But I would want to question what human-oriented actually means. Why do humans have to occupy most of the universe for it to be human-orientated? For instance, perhaps the universe was set up to show how valuable humans are. If we are talking about how valuable something is, then we find that the rarer and scarcer something is, the more valuable it is. Gold and diamonds are valuable because they are in relatively smaller quantities than ordinary rocks, which you can find anywhere. A one-of-a-kind stamp or comic book is more valuable than a stamp or comic book with thousands of copies. The number of humans in the universe says nothing about the intent or purpose of the universe, in fact having few humans compared to the immensity of the universe could suggest that humans are incredibly important and are of great value.
    
2. The article quotes Scripture, particularly Genesis l:27 and Psalm 8:1–5, to suggest that despite the Bible’s emphasis on the importance of humans in the universe, they really don’t feature too prominently in the universe we observe. We are a drop in the ocean compared to how vast the universe is. Yet a constantly Biblical theme, and perhaps the heart of Scripture itself, is that despite the seeming unimportance and meagerness of humanity, God loves us tremendously. This is a constant paradox in the Bible. Israel was a small and backward nation, but God chose them. David was unremarkable compared to his brothers, but God picked him to be king. The Gospel itself is the message of one act of self-giving love that changed history. Paul said that God delights in choosing the weak and small things of the world to shame the strong and great (1 Cor 1:26–31). All this says more about God and his incredible love than anything else. God loves us even though from every point of view we’re unlovely and would be unlovable if it wasn’t for his grace. 
    
3. The article offers an out by saying that potentially we don’t understand God’s motive for creating a universe where humans occupy such a small place, but it ultimately concludes that God not existing is the most likely reason for the universe being the way that it is. It makes much of the fact that humans have only been on the scene for an infinitesimally brief period of time if the universe is billions of years old. So why would God create this incredibly vast universe and introduce this tiny creature at the last minute? Even if other answers could be given, I wonder if Genesis 1:28 could begin to give a hint in the right direction. After God creates human beings in His image, He says, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it." The first task and arguably the chief mission of humanity is to fill creation thus bringing the image of God to every nook and cranny of existence. It’s as if God wants to put his stamp all over creation by putting human beings everywhere. The book of Revelation ends with a renewed physical creation where humans are given back their role of stewards of God’s good creation. Maybe we’ll have eternity to fill the universe and bring God’s image to every corner of the cosmos. Perhaps God’s plan has always been for humanity to reach the farthest expanses of space to bring it all under God’s rule.

So, does the size of the universe prove that God doesn’t exist? No. To those without faith it could suggest that God doesn’t exist. But to those who believe, the size of the universe only gives us more reason to be in awe of the God who spoke it all into existence and who chose to love weak, small, and foolish creatures like us.
