I have a 2 questions for religious people, preferably Christians. One, what is the purpose of other planets that do not have life, and two, how and where do ice ages fit into history, creation, and God's plan?
I'm Christian so I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong. Please don't answer if you are an athiest or agnostic. (link)

Mmmm... Depends. Are you asking for a direct bible answer or a "commentary from a priest answer"?
The direct answer is that neither of these are addressed in either testament, so they are sort of gray areas. However...
God created the entire universe, not just Earth. Some might say that he created barren planets to add to the beauty and majesty of the universe, which I don't quite buy... Dunno. If planets with alien life were discovered, it would affect Christianity and religion in general greatly.
As for the ice ages, the common religious view is that they just aren't that important. The old testament starts 5.7 thousand years ago and the new one starts 2006 years ago, the ice age being very far off from both those times. They don't quite fit in with the doctrine anyway.
Hope this helps.
