@Jerry Perryman Absolutely. And we are the intelligent life beyond their planets. This necessary conclusion comes from the fact that the rotating universe consists of a hierarchical structure of rotating systems with intelligent life existing at the level of planetary systems. The abundance of life separated by exponential spaces and distances.

@Hikmah Heikal Thanks for joining the group, Hickmah. Sorry for the delay in welcoming you and others — took two weeks off to recover from a minor surgery. In the context of all existing theistic religions, god is merely humanity’s projection of an all powerful being who serves as a strong black garbage bag into which all mysteries are dumped. The best account of this explanation was provided by Feuerbach’s writings. In the context of philosophy, the only logical way for god to exist is Spinoza’s “god or nature” — namely identifying nature as god (in essence as good as denying god). In the context of science, whatever exists is but a form of energy — there’s no god whatsoever, just energy in its myriad forms.

@Torvicx Mo Thanks for the question, Torvicx. There are many ways to deconstruct this ancient misleading problem. 1) assume there is “nothing”, then this “nothing” would exist as “nothing”, thereby contradicting itself. 2) you can say things like “there is no dog here”, “there is no cat there”, “there are no trees in the ocean”, etc., ie you can deny the existence of certain specific forms of things somewhere or everywhere, but you can’t deny the existence of all forms of things. 3) energy conserves, neither created nor destroyed, including angular momentum — how much energy there is today, how much energy forever. 4) whatever exists is but a form of energy. 5) there’s no nothingness.
