I can't get any good quality replies! [Spirituality & Religion]

@Wraithorn Science is such that it doesn't even count as one possible investigation. It merely contributes to one of several.

@Nika2002 Fair enough and all of those several may be quite interesting food for thought. But I can't bring myself to believe something without evidence. Contemplating things with the imagination for example is grand and could lead to useful ideas. But without real proof the idea won't hold any weight with me.
My imagination tells me that the entire universe is a living being and we and everything else in this universe (space dust, planets,stars, mosquitoes, piles of dog turd, black holes, you, me, everything) are a part of the whole being.
I zero evidence though. Despite that, if I was charming and convincing enough, I could probably start a religion based on that belief without any real evidence. Oh, and somehow I would involve cat worship in that religion. I just haven't figured out how yet. 😸

@Wraithorn Evidence is essential. And argument is no less essential.

@hippyjoe1955 A good question. I'll let someone else answer.

@SW-User I'm struggling with the vagueness of your questions. If you're referring to the last thing discussed then reason takes into consideration four conjoint possibilities for causation and effect. If you mean 'reasonable proof' then we should want a deductive argument and testable evidence.

LadyGrace, I gave you your chance to whine about not being heard and to spread your foolish, unreasonable shit. There's no call to get all mouthy. And please stop betraying mankind.
