you tell me what a good analogy is?
I already explained this to you. Maybe if you had listened instead of dribbling insults out your piehole then you wouldn't need me to repeat myself.

That is the problem with analogies as proofs of things: you can't tell from the analogy whether or not the analogy holds with respect to the characteristic in question. Your pointing out that the universe is like the body in some ways is not evidence that the universe is like a body in all ways, and in particular, in the specific way that the body has a mind. This is why your entire argument for the universe having a mind fails. In addition you are engaged in cherry picking the ways that your analogy applies. If the analogy is intended to extend to unknowns like the universe having a mind, you're not free to pick and choose the ways in which the body and universe are alike. It's an all or nothing deal, and your cherry picking makes it another failure.
And since you didn't get that the first time, you probably didn't get the following.

If that's the hallmark of a spiritually wise person, then your constant insults mark you as a complete spiritual ignoramus. So what's with all the insults?
