I'm sure it could be argued that to some degree, most of the seven unforgivable sins are rather powerful. Let's just name "Greed" to start with.

The universe is a pretty big place. Those sins, restricted to humanity grubbing around on a particle of dust the size of Earth hardly qualifies as significant forces.

For a scale representation of how much we are "dust"

You know what they say, that greed knows no bounds? I'm sure that if we "could" get to those planets easily, someone out there would PAY to buy his own. No matter how big it is. <.<
