If you were where you were, what about before then?

Wouldn't that mean you've always been alongside the different ages, "prehistoric" times, extinct animals and as long as the universe has been?

I’m sorry but this makes no sense.

Yes. The atoms that make up your body were just somewhere else. At least that’s how I understand it.

There are something like 10^22 to 10^24 stars in the Universe. This is what it took to have life on one planet. It's time to rethink what created this experiment.

Not necessarily. Since light can’t travel infinitely fast, this is severely limiting what we see. If we look at a spot a billion light years away, for all we know there is life more complex than us right there, we just can’t see it until a billion years from now.

But this is what I got from what you said, you may have meant something else.

I don't have enough degenerative intellect necessary to answer the question.

"I’m sorry but this makes no sense."

Your next statement:

"Yes. The atoms that make up your body were just somewhere else. At least that’s how I understand it."

Makes sense.

Please explain your first sentence then if it was that simple. 

My second remark made perfect sense. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only change form. So we have always existed, the atoms we are made of were just somewhere else.

Both statements are interconnected and directed toward the same single idea as what you just mentioned about matter.
