Is death a law of the universe?

I wonder if death did not have to happen, obviously there would be to many living things on this planet. However, if evolution by chance made something that didn't live/die would that violate any
laws of science.

I'd say current physics are based on an entopic universe, even stars eventually die.

If there is a spitiritual world, it must be based on physics we are unable to comprehend at the moment. However, there are incomprehensible physics in play at the moment. One such example is the big bang singularity. This flys in the face of well accepted theory of general relativity in relation to gravitational forces. So what appears impossible must be possible or big bang is out.

So as far as the physical world is concerned everything born must die.

When you observe someone close die it seems Mother Nature has intervened, and death is a law. When one observes the sun in the sky it appears eternal. I can understand that before the birth of astronomy the ancients saw human death as a law of the universe, while believing in some constants. I can also understand that because we have telescopes we know stars live and die, so modern man must be more convinced that death is a law of nature. Should that law be applied to the universe as a whole? Maybe.

It is. Because while there is life; so there must be death. Nothing exists without it's polar opposite....death is the polar opposite of life.

So the polar opposite of god would be. . . . . ? And no; "no god" or "non-god" doesn't cut it.

You destroy God, life still exists... if there is no life, then how can there be death?...without day, there is no night, it is impossible for one to exists without the other hence, polar opposites.

It is change that is enevitable...
Not death
Death is simply an aspect of change. It is a change in state.

To a Mountain ...the cycle of death and new life would seem to be the greatest changes around it. its own slow erosion would seem almost invisible by comparison.

Life is like froth on the surface of existence. It is ephemeral, superficial and impermanent.

Yes. Without it nothing would be born. Birth gives new chances and progress. Birth and Death is evolution. It isn't wrong, what is "wrong" is when we think we should stop it or somehow control it. That is when man thinks he should be above universal laws, this is imagination.
