Unintelligence

Some one asked me a question, thought it is best to answer this and post it here.
 Question: 
Assuming the earth surface area as 1, then the total for all the planets and moons is not
more than 1000. So the total energy of the sun falling on all these worlds is no ore than
two millionths. This shows unintelligent design. Why waste millions of times of more energy
trying to heat up empty space? Its worse since most planets radiate more energy to space
than they receive from the Sun! Where does all the energy go in the end? If space was not
expanding would the energy from all the suns interact and heat up interstellar matter and
hurt it at us?

Answer: 
It is not unintelligent design; it is about the universe obeying the laws of physics/nature
in its entirety. These are the laws that govern everything. From the stars to the
microscopic particles.

Interestingly you have called it unintelligent design that means you do accept the fact
that there was a creator behind all this.  You also need to realize that if things are not
the way they are, you would not be here to ask this question!!!  The perfection in
the design is that the least amount  of work is being done. You could say the universe
likes to do the least amount of work. If you recall, we have all learnt in our early
Physics lessons that  the most efficient systems are those that deliver with the least
 amount of work. In that sense, the universe, our solar system, the earth is set up
in the most efficient way.

If this design bothers you so much, it means you are just a confused individual.
It might be better if you came up with some intelligent questions in your mind,
than to look at the 'unintelligence' of an efficient system.
