It's a bit of a nitpick, but most Christians accept it. I have run into a few on a Christian forum that still believe in geocentrism. To get there, they also have to categorically reject gravity. Yeah, it's pretty weird.
Other than that, I do agree with your OP. The idea that all of this exists just for us is selfish and vain.
