Gravity over time. Why create the whole rest of the universe to build 1 perfect "Earth"?

Astronomists have found other planets similar to earth - generally larger and not exactly the same, but yea - it's hard with the vastness of the universe for us to be able to see that many more planets up close first-hand, but if we could, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more planets like ours out there.
It's also kind of silly to assume life can't exist in other circumstances on other planets. We've only been able to closely examine what, Mars and Venus? So we've had the ability to examine a whopping 3 planets when there are a nearly countless amount of star systems out there and some of us are somehow convinced that there is no other life in the universe? It's impossible to be convinced that there's not at the least microscopic life on Neptune or Pluto. We don't think there is because we make the assumption based on physics we know, but hey, based on physics we knew a couple thousand years ago, people thought the Earth was flat and that the universe rotated around the Earth.
I'm not saying it's not possible for there to be a god who constructed all of this, but I think it's far more possible for there to be a god that constructed the universe that for all we know has created millions of other universes and couldn't give a shit less about us. People want to believe there's a supreme being out there that cares about them because the alternative is essentially being one of a ridiculously huge amount of lifeforms in a ridiculously vast universe with a ridiculously short lifespan that is alone other than knowing and interacting with a relatively tiny amount of other lifeforms in their lifetime. They want their life to have meaning, even though they would admit that the vast majority of animal and plant life on this planet has no meaning in comparison to theirs. Insects have a lifespan of days. There are probably amounts of them being born and dying every day that are larger numbers than most of us have ever heard of. Does a god care about each and every one of those insects? Or are we the special ones on this planet because we're blessed with intelligence? If we are, why don't we have longer lives? We are not even the animals with the longest lifespan on this planet.
