Thats just one solar system... There are 200 billion other solar systems in this Galaxy... And then there are more than 200 billion other galaxies out there.
What did you say? 200 billion solar systems?
Oh my goodness! I thought there were 209 billion?

based upon measured flatness and horizon of visible universe size (92 billion light years diameter sphere) actual universe is estimated much much bigger.according to some physicists the comparison is like comparing a sand particle vs visible universe.

moreover, there may be upto 10^512 parallel universes that make a multiverse

This is from what we can observe, even God doesn't know what else is out there.

The Galaxies are moving away from each other at a speed faster than sound because of the expansion. Which means some point billions of years in the future, light from these galaxies wont reach us anymore and we wont be able to see them.

If human civilization goes extinct, and new civilization is formed on a new planet on a new star, they will never know this story as they will never be able to see other galaxies. We are lucky that we can observe and study these things.

Well, mind-boggling scale of cosmos reflects the greatness of its creator.
Also I guess you meant to mention speed of light instead of speed of sound for galaxies above.

Selective study is harmful. there are great audiobooks on youtube. Lawrence M. Krauss is pro-Atheism, but must listen to Brian Greene, Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawkings, Richard feynman, Guth and Carl Sagan etc for a complete picture.

in one of his books, Michio Kaku accepts with a big list of arguments that Universe needs a creator. not the biblical one, but one much Grander than that. He says, I believe in the God of Albert Einstien

following are some good audiobooks freely available online. they can also help you sleep within minutes :)
also look for
brian greene's fabric of the cosmos
michio kaku parallel worlds
feynman's character of physical law
Stephen Hawking's universe in a nutshell
Brief History of time
the grand design
Astrophysics for People in a Hurry By Neil deGresse Tyson


there are many more

Actually, they are supposedly moving away from each other faster than the speed of LIGHT and that's why with our best effort we will never be able to observe the whole universe...

my observation is that some physicists came out with theory of multiverse to get rid of fine tuning and Creation problem, but the same argument expanded the imagined scale of the creator big times for the believers

Humans are special. millions of other species are pre-programmed. Humans have free will.
a deer's kid takes few minutes to stand up and run, otherwise he is doomed. Human baby takes about a year.
animals can just sniff to decide what they can eat or not. we have to learn it by knowledge.
birds heal their wounds by removing feathers around it and use sunlight to avoid infections. ever try to bandage a wounded bird and observe it.

it is very possible that there are countless other planets with their own civilizations, but It doesn't make the creator irrelevant.
