did you make the comparison yet? the measurement is the best way to form an opinion. So lets not be baseless.

You still aren't showing anyone how the universe is a single living organism yet. It contains living organisms. It also contains planets. Is the universe a planet?
na, you are avoiding now. Your opinion is meaningless without some type of measurement. look up the definition of measurement. Thats neil's point.
You won't make the comparison because you have a personal opinion to protect. Science is not concerned with how you feel about its descriptions of how the universe works.
Does the biosphere's interactions line up best with what we classify as non-life, virus, or life. science is not concerned with what you believe.
