I was explained that we were made so poor because Jesus Christ wished to be reverenced for his glory of being able to create life that started from nothing into a whole entire universal-species.

 Jesus Christ is creating a temple people for himself. He has other cojoined worlds that he's explicitly tied to, but God will reveal himself to each radically different world he creates. Because Jesus Christ does not have relevance in all worlds. That's saying that we live in a black-hole or something. Trust me, it wouldn't be anything special. Then you're asking for a new world where Jesus Christ is in because you were one of his main temple people.
