But what about a kid who dies in a car crash when he's 15 years old?
If he wasn't permitted by God to grow old and learn to overcome obstacles, than how is that fair to him when compared to a man who goes through a rough patch in his late 20s, repents in his late 30s, divorces his wife when he's 50, and goes through another rough patch before crying out for God's help when he's 75 and on his death bed?

And you're assuming a purpose to everything in the Universe by saying it's a "temporary creation for certain purpose which we don't know about."
How can you know that?

The traditions that we use to recognize God's intent in the Universe is Heaven, Earth, and Hell, and it glorifies humans as the pinnacle of god's creation. There is no stars and cosmos, and it's never mentioned in even slight detail in any known canon.
So how can a Neutron star from Andromeda Galaxy (which is the nearest galaxy to us) have anything to do with what we understand is the Universe as according to our traditional understanding of God, and us as humans because we exist in this realm?

The two are completely separate, and in no way related to Heaven, Earth, or Hell at all.

Meteor that started its journey millions of light years away crashes into Earth and kills a bunch of people. Why would God use a meteor that far away instead of one of the many millions floating around the Earth? Five billion years ago he decided that meteor would be the one he used to one day kill some people in Russia somewhere?

Probably because God wanted to test that kid only for 15 years. Maybe living only for 15 years made that child's test easier as compared to the old man of 75.
As we know, God tests different people in different ways. Loss of life, loss of wealth, loss of power etc. are all different types of tests.

I'm not saying I know it for sure that the universe is only a creation for a certain purpose. I'm only saying that's a possibility.
There are tons of things unknown to us which only God can answer.

If that tradition doesn't make sense, we simply disagree with the tradition. One flawed tradition doesn't necessarily mean God doesn't exist.

The original account of Genesis was one that was scrapped, because it told the story of Adam's first wife Lilith, who was banished from the Garden of Eden because she refused to take the bottom position during sex with Adam. Due to her refusal and banishment, God created Eve, of whom was created to be submissive to Adam, while Lilith was left to live outside the Garden, fornicating with demons and cursing Adam and Eve's descendents for the rest of time.

I don't think it was an actual account that was scrapped, but rather an interpretation made from the contradiction present in the Genesis creation story. That story was never actually in the bible. Rather, it was a story created to explain the contradiction. At least I believe so.
