If space is infinite, and the number of stars is infinite, then working backward, if we were to rewind the tape, hence collapsing all the matter back into the single "blob of mass" that initially exploded...the mass would be infinite. Right? If we take an infinitie amount of mass, add it up, it would be infinite.

Since there couldn't have been a mass of infinite size, is it logical to conclude that space is finite?

We have been discussing both Philosophies in class and it is said that with Existentialism, existence comes first and then it is followed by the essence--man is the only one responsible for his existence and what is happening in his life (freedom and responsibility over actions) while Essentialism is merely fulfilling destiny and existing to fulfill a plan by God. My professor also pointed out that our inauthenticity makes us believe in both, whichever is convenient-freedom whenever we want to do something against God's teaching, calling on to God whenever our exercise of freedom gets us in deep trouble. Well, can we or can we not believe in both authentically without violating the principle of one or the other?

The Only Time


It's raining outside
That when my sister an I
Decide to run rampant through
the violent storms

We're young, we're beautiful, and we're free
We live to the fullest
We put off consequences
And live for the moment


We walk in the house
Soaking wet
My mother scorns and punishes us
Sure it was dangerous
Dangerous but not stupid

But we just laugh
Because we know in years to come
This will be on of the best times of our lives

...are we just there by chance, because of the process of evolution and countless fortuities? And if there was no purpose in the beginning, should there be a purpose anyway? What should this purpose be? Or is the main purpose in the end, as for all other things alive, just to survive? But why? For what?

Think about it and write your comment.

We generally accept that humans are conscious of their own existence - but what about other living things? What do you think is the "cut-off point" between those living things which are and those which aren't? For example: are ants aware of existence? Are plants? Plankton?
