No Edgar.
The question people have been grappling with for thousands of years is:
What is the nature of the REALITY of existence?
One possible answer is that it has a component that is spiritual...another that there is no spiritual component.
You want to pretend there cannot be a spiritual component because...
...well, just because.
And since the folks who posit a spiritual component cannot produce the spirit for you...
...you want to insist it cannot and does not exist.
You are simply a bullheaded old fool.
And your decision to "decide without evidence that there IS NOT a spiritual component" is every bit as unwarranted as the theistic decision to "decide without evidence that there IS a spiritual component."
But I am getting huge laughs at your attempts to poke fun and minimize the agnostic take on this issue.
You are a gas.
