Is Earth an experimental laboratory?

I’m sure the idea titled above has been worked to death by sci-fi writers. (Name any book or story you’re familiar with, that exudes the lab idea, in comments here.)
 
The problem, for me, with the idea – which also factors, somewhat, in my Yahweh thesis on Substack – is that Earth is a pitiful example of a planet in the cosmos, on first encountering it, superficially.
 
But any scrutiny by a super sentient species or “divine” entity allows for the possibility that our planet could well serve as a laboratory for experiments of all kinds; it might even have been transfigured for that very purpose, billions of years ago.
 
This would preclude any idea of the Matrix scenario or any Ancient Alien hypothesis. It would be a premise supported by an accep- tance of a reality that includes the concept(s) of a master intelli- gence operating within the Universe, an intelligence we would be better to call something other than God, in order to avoid a schmaltzy patina-like that which is already abundant in human thought.
 
The many universes hypothesis opens the possibility that Earth is a test laboratory by something(s) greater than that which is our immediate reality.
 
(The hypothetical many dimensions concept also would apply.)
 
My point here isn’t to be a chintzy sci-fi exploiter but is rather meant to curb or dilute the UFO ideas of an ET explanation or Time-traveling humans from our future scenario or the suggestion that Earth contains a hidden crypto-terrestrial species inserting itself in the process of humanity threading itself along an evolu- tionary line or deterministic course (provided by a malevolent deity).
 
Rather, I’d hope that some reading this may have some ideas about how or why something or somebody would establish Earth or use it as a testing laboratory of some kind, and to what end or purpose.

This is NOT a “theological” treatise

Why would an alien life force, an extraterrestrial species, be paying attention to Earth and its inhabitants, the total flora and fauna of this planet's existence?
 
And if the “beings,” thought to be flitting around in the skies and seas, exist and make up that enigma we call UFOs, where are they from? Here? There? And what would their purpose be, if there is one? 
 
The UFO “interlopers” supposedly interacting with some humans only make sense if they are part of a sub-rosa species, on this planet, participating alongside humankind in some lackadaisical way, a species as singularly alone as humanity has been for millions of years but operating in peculiar ways as purposeless as humanity's has been.
 
There is no palpable reason for our being or theirs as far as anyone has been able to discern.

UFO entities are not harbingers of good-will or artful producers of planet-saving endeavors; they aren’t even worthwhile evil-doers – humanity has beat them to that punch.
 
Our goal should be to unmask the intruders, place them in a subset of existence and then move on to find out why God, if there is one, ignores us – to what end or purpose.
