Abiogenesis was an interaction -Well look at it as abiogenesis which at the moment is the best way to explain our existence. At some point we didn't exist until after a LOT of time non living matter came together to form a self replicating molecule. After that natural selection took over. Now imagine this happening on an infinite timescale and on the scale of a universe.What does giving existence tries entail? Can you flesh that out...Chance. Pure chance. If you give something enough tries anything and everything no matter how unlikely will occur, this includes existence.This is one of my favorite topics, right beside time travel and the prospect of discovering Alien life.
A distinction: if you're cross-examining peoples' guesses, please be sure to remember they're calling them a guess and not a knowledge claim.
If I HAD to guess, and a gun was to my head - I would guess that existence is eternal, it was never "created" or "came" to be, but always was.
We talk a lot about time. Without time, the term "beginning" serves no purpose. What if time is simply a byproduct of Space - and something in "existence" created space, but existence itself isnt aged, as age is a function of time. I'm not even sure the human brain is capable of conceptualizing existence without the 4th dimension.
All crazy interesting stuff.....and it makes politics lame as fuck, to me.
prior to existence itself, there was nothing interacting. So...Im not sure that explains existence occurring as a matter of chance....>?
