You claimed life is infinite. How does that prove life is infinite?Age wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 5:23 amIn 'causality', or 'cause and effect'. It is IMPOSSIBLE for ANY thing to come FROM NO thing, or FROM nothing. Even you keep TELLING 'us' that 'nothing', 'nothingness', or 'no thing' does NOT even exist. Therefore, there WAS and IS ALWAYS some thing PRIOR, or BEFORE, EVERY other thing. Therefore, the Universe, which is ALIVE, and thus 'Life', Itself, and which is EXISTING, MEANS that the Universe, Itself, like Life, Itself, and like Existence, Itself, are eternal.daniel j lavender wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 3:33 pmWhere has this been proven true?

For when one 'looks out', as far as one can SEE, it is IMPOSSIBLE for there to be ANY ACTUAL 'boundary' or 'edge' at ANY 'distance' AT ALL. In fact if one was to imagine a line between the most other perceived planets, stars, or other objects, then what is obviously between and around those objects is 'space', itself. Which;
1. Obviously does NOT have ANY 'edge' NOR 'boundary' to 'i't (besides of course the particles or objects of 'matter', themselves. So, forever extending IS 'space', itself.
2. Because light diminishes over distance, even if one could see the perceived the out most stars, planets, or other objects, then that is NOT known to be the 'edge' NOR 'boundary' of the Universe, Itself. The Universe IS therefore infinite, AS WELL AS eternal.
And, because the 'Universe', Itself, is infinite, and ALIVE, and EXISTING, then so to is 'Life', Itself, AND 'Existence', Itself, ALSO infinite.
Now, if these are NOT 'proof', to you, then WHY NOT, EXACTLY?
Since the scientific community estimated the age of the universe to be approximately 13.8 billion years.
From this approximation one could argue the universe is indeed limited.
Existence encompasses the system known as our universe.
Consumption, metabolism, growth, response to stimuli, reproduction, etcetera.Age wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 5:23 amAnd, what are the, EXACTLY, so-called and so-claimed 'vital signs or characteristics of what is called A 'living organism'?daniel j lavender wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 3:33 pmA soda can exhibits no vital signs or characteristics of a living organism.
A soda can does not grow. A soda can does not respond to stimuli.
A soda can is not life. Life is not infinite.
As stated at the top of the previous page this is philosophy, not physics.Age wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 5:23 amNow, just so you BECOME AWARE, some might SAY and CLAIM that so-called 'outer space' IS 'physical'.daniel j lavender wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 3:33 pmPhysical space: an ocean. Immaterial space: outer space.
The physics community, science generally views the universe as a physical system.
Philosophy is broader, more expansive. Philosophy has more depth. Philosophy embraces the immaterial not just the material or the physical.
Just beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
An ocean contains considerable amounts of atoms and molecules as contrasted with the vacuum of outer space.
An ocean, or at least part of one, can be touched and is obviously tangible. An ocean provides material resistance as it’s densely arranged molecules and atoms.
The vacuum of outer space provides no resistance as it concerns minimal matter, minimal molecules and minimal atomic arrangements allowing material bodies motion.
Because of this the vacuum of outer space can be considered immaterial. However pure immaterial space would concern no atoms or molecules.
