» Are human beings the only conscious beings in the universe?: Nope!
Thirdly, Maimonides and others write about the heavenly bodies as conscious beings — and not simply in an allegorical sense. If anyone should ask, “How can a ball of helium and hydrogen contain consciousness?” simply ask in return, “And that a warm mass of gray meat has consciousness is reasonable?”
And, evidently, the Rabbis found proof in the Tanakh for the idea of Life on other planets.
