>>16697169Stars are alive in a similar sense to biologic organisms. They are born and die all the time, undergo changes of their bodies as they age. They require fuel to burn in order to stay alive, just as we do. They expel products of their stellar metabolism, just as life does.
Life consists of materials first created in stars. Galaxies also are alive, brimming with various processes shaping their existence and evolution. Galaxies are like vast societies of stars and what they expel into space.
The space itself isn't ever truly empty, governed by laws we're just starting to discover.
Taking all of this into account, it's not that far-fetched to believe abiotic origin of life.
