I still like the "is like postulating a God with Alzheimers" line, too. That's polite in the way that wit is polite (which is also dubious in the way that wit is dubious). It still strikes me as a clever qualm which was attacked fiercely.
Sorry if Todd's 'harsh' here but it really does help to not write posts on the forum using stream of consciousness.
I do it often too on my own, and it's great for brainstorming, but not for discussion here.
Attempts at 'wit' (fun as it is) just don't work as well at first on this forum when lots of people don't have English as a first language and we're often discussing science/ engineering concepts. I understand OA is very complicated and so giving new folks some leeway helps... but arguing back against folks trying to explain the setting doesn't.
I see you have the beginnings of some interesting ideas in your posts (which can be welcome!) but walls of text without enough organization tend to get ignored around here.
(personally I think non engagement works better than threats of blocking)
good luck with what you decide to do!
