The point I'm trying to make is this: the universe does not shed a tear when a lesser planet is consumed by a larger planet, it does not care when a star is engulfed by another star, it does not have any emotions whatsoever toward what we classify as "nonlife" objects. So therefore we could say, quite blantly, that the universe does not give an absolute sh** about us. The universe has no feeling; it does not judge us in any way.
So why is it that when a human is murdered that we assume we are being judged by some omnipotent being? Why is it, that when a planet is consumed by another, that we do not say this same omnipotent being is judging that action as well? We allow these so-called "nonlife" objects (such as planets) to be "murdered" by eachother with no emotional response whatsoever. Considering the fact that nonlife and life are the same entity, and if there exists an absence of an omnipotent all-knowing creator, we could easily say that ANY action within the physical boundaries of the universe and all that exists is permitted, correct? I can kill a human being. Who is judging me? Other human beings. But what are other human beings? Just mass and energy, nothing else. What we percieve as "emotion "(in this case, judgement) is only our interpretation of the sound waves, gestures, and actions arousing from other humans, interpretted by the mass and energy within our brain. IF there is a lack of an "ALL-KNOWING" "ALL-JUDGING" presence in the universe, whose emotions are composed of something beyond simply interaction between particles and energy, then we can say that all actions are permitted, so long as they are physically possible.
I know this is a radical idea. But I got this in my head two days ago and I started wondering if this theory actually made sense. Of course, this ideology is entirely based upon the assumption that nonlife and life are a single entity, and share no distinction (which, I believe, according to our current scientific evidence, is true).
Anyway, what do you guys make of it? (and don't worry I'm not a murderer, lol)
