Can one know the infinite mind of God? By definition, it is beyond human understanding. To speculate as to its motives is a vain effort in futility.
I don't believe any immaterial being exists, and certainly not a creator of the universe. However, if the creator did exist, had some unique interest in the survival of our species, and possessed the means of precisely determining all future events (three uncertain, unverifiable premises), it could have predicted the eventual rise of space technology and known that humanity would ascend into the stars. As such, the demise of our original planet would be irrelevant to the continuation of the species.
Another possibility is that the creator intended us to die in a cataclysmic event and reach a higher plane of existence, which is laughably preposterous, though no more so than the scenario described in the former paragraph.
