But let me play along like you do. lets do a measurement. A crude one to be sure, but look up the definition of measurement. That way we are on the same page.
Compare the interactions of the biosphere to things we classify as non-life, viruses, and life.
What does it match the best to?
You claim to understand what Neil is saying, but that also seems to be a baseless claim. You are still confusing your own personal beliefs with fact.
The rest of that post doesn't seem to have a place in this topic. I don't mean to sound rude, but is English your native language?

again, as per neil, it doesn't matter what the pickle believes, it is part of what we classify as a sandwich. That's "how the universe works".
You seem to have missed the point. Claiming that the universe is alive is akin to claiming that a sandwich is a pickle.
