My junior (Mathilda) and I were just talking on this subject earlier. It was a question posted by her friend, and as a Christian she was naturally stumped for answers.
My counter question to that is: If God had so much time to create something as meaningless like that, why did He create humans?
I mean what GOOD are humans? We wreck His creation, break every law ever created, start wars with each other, commit terrible crimes towards our fellow human beings... To cut the long story short, we seem addicted to breaking God's heart. If I were God, I'd wipe the slate clean and start again from scratch. Humans are just too bothersome.
But He didn't. He didn't wipe us out.
Do you know why?
Because He loves us so much, He was willing to even experience death to become closer to us.
John 3:16, ""For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." [NIV]
Let's face it. If you were God, would you create something meaningless just because someone nudged you (and called you a loser when you didn't)? Or would you create something that you will cherish forever, something that you would be willing to die for?
