Life began somehow as a single cell organism so far in the distant past that it is unfathomable. I can’t prove that. But here is my line of reasoning.
Where does inert matter come from? I mean inanimate material such as dirt. The age of the universe is non existent. It is the same as it always was, is now and always will be forever and ever without end.
Our brief lifespan on this planet is not even a blink of an eye in comparison. When an organic thing dies it becomes dust. Just like the dust builds up under your bed, the dust built up (on the hollow moon where the aliens live) in the universe as stuff died over the eternities. The universe is essentially a graveyard and everything is growing in it.
The universe itself then is a living growing thing. We are offshoots of that same thing. If this implies that the Universe itself is god, then in a way we live in god’s waste product. Holy crap suddenly has a whole new meaning for me. When we die we will be the foundation the same as those before us. Doesn’t that make you feel better?
The end.
