A philosophy of life

 Life cannot come from non-life since too much information would need to accumulate in opposition to entropy. So life must always have existed even before any Big Bang and therefore it must have not been composed of matter and energy. Presumably this life, for it to survive a Big Bang, it would be such that it would not be killed by anything since that Big Bang. So it would be eternal and the source of all other life. At some point it must have made the first life involving matter and energy. The original life would be able to carry the information needed by matter and energy. Since non-material life must exist, it follows that it could have created other non-material life too. No reason to think only the original life created material-based life, several non-material life forms may have collaborated, in all probability. Even material-based life has non-material components such as consciousness, so this supports the existence of pure non-material life going back to before any material universe existed.
