Its not even pursuing a decorate mystic. He does not talk like a science and engineering person. He sounds like a philosopher.

He didn't address one once of observation, he only addressed how he felt about it. I mean what science person would ever say "Lets put that on the we are mostly wrong pile." when talking to another science person. Its utterly absurd for a trained person to say that.

I see you ignored my post where I asked you to present how exactly the theories you name are used in your theory. No surprise there, I doubt you have a full understanding of the theories you name.

You have not provided any evidence for me to refute. If you provided any specific evidence I would be happy to do so. Instead you just write generic rambles. How can I scientifically refute a non scientific ramble?

Examples of what does NOT count as scientific evidence:

-"You and I can go out and look"
-Naming theories but not explaining how exactly they are used in you theory.
-Vague nonsense like "Just based on traits of life in a biology book the system around us matches life more than not life."

Now if there is a specific theory in the biology book that you specifically used in your theory, and you explicitly outline the logic you use, then I could critique it.

A scientist won't say "I looked at the world and I looked at the traits of life in the biology book and they are the same." A scientist would say: "from biology book X I got a list of traits for life. These are A,B,C,D,E, F and G. Now I will show how the whole of Earth meets each of the criteria A to G. Earth meet A because... in detail. Earth meets B because ... in detail, etc. In conclusion, as I have demonstrated Earth as a whole meets every criteria for a living organism, I suggest that Earth as a whole is a living organism."

See the difference between a vague meaningless statement, and a precise scientific discussion?

I had no interest in doing a PhD, but know many who have done so. I find talking to them and discussing their work fascinating. It is your theory that I find intellectually false.

Why is this I wonder...
I addressed the thread topic in the 3rd post to the thread.
I am not allowed to elaborate upon the details...but you know what I mean, from my Pantheist perspective.
Noting the arguments (that no Theist raised) that postulated Orbiting monkeys giving the finger & dogs farting causing the wind...was just to highlight the oft used puerile dumbstuff that the Atheists and anti-Religionists typically trot out, and to show how those arguments seem to almost always devolve to childish, ridiculous, and pathetic blowhole spew.
For a long time...I thought they did it exclusively to mock Religion and Theists...until, after a time (and seeing it so consistently) I realized that really is the level & quality of their arguments.
It's one of the main things that make this forum so entertaining to me.

You are attacking us for holding a mirror up to arguments for theism?

No, we have a lot of different and better arguments. You do not. Suck it up, buttercup.

No...you don't have better arguments...the puerile, dumbstuff is the best any of you have ever produced.
Actually the, "orbiting monkeys giving the finger & dogs farting causing the wind" is on the higher end of the quality scale of the arguments y'all put forth.

As far as "sucking it up"...I have no issues that would require that. That would be you, et al, that need to suck it up.
I'm Theist. I'm not the one on the Belief Forum for years, putting up tens of thousands of posts whining about Theological Beliefs.
And, since I find the ridiculousness of that to be amusing & entertaining, I hope you never stop.
If you stopped, that would probably cause me some disappointment that I would have to suck up & cope with.
But I don't hafta worry about that...y'all are too tweaked out, obsessed & compelled to ever stop.

The first mistake you make is thinking this is a "belief forum".

It's a discussion forum. Go to the main page of the forum and look at the various sub-forum titles" automotive, aviation, caregiving, entertainment, fashion, gardening, moving issues, history, hobbies, immigration, pets, photography, real estate, retirement, travel, wealth. etc. These are not "beliefs". These are categories of topics to discuss, ask questions, state pros and cons. Once again, you seem to be one of the posters that thinks this is a praise forum. It's not.

There are a number of pantheism forums on the internet. There are various praise forums on the internet.

Any forum titled "Religion and Spirituality" would (typically and reasonably) be a forum predicated upon Religious & Spiritual beliefs.
That this forum, titled "Religion and Spirituality", uniquely has so much content that is contrary (even fervently opposed) to the title subject of Religious & Spiritual beliefs, is what makes it so amusing and entertaining.
How many other of the General Forums have a large amount of the content insulting and mocking the title subject and those interested in it and discussing it?

Bayes, logic, history and science. Perhaps those arguments are too intellectual for you?

Well, you do have to lie for your beliefs.

Ironic projection.

Apparently the owner of the forum, as represented by his moderators, disagrees with you.

Perhaps you should start your own forum or find one that operates in the way you want it to. If you do a Google search you can find several such forums.
