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.
What kind of measurements have we made that indicate the Universe is alive? First, I find the term of being "alive" to be vague. What is the definition of life? Is it just the state of being conscious, or does it involve additional processes?
It's your opinion that is meaningless without some type of measurement and specific definition. We haven't even made a claim about the Universe being alive or not. You have the burden of proof, not us.
we can only compare unknowns to knows. Thats what science does. You misunderstand, I make comparisons first, then draw conclusions.
we have non-life, viruses, and life. compare the interactions of the biosphere to one of those three. Add more if you like, but they are good enough. i tried to compare the biosphere to everything I know and kept coming up with the same measurement reading.
now you can just deny anything and everything, but thats not helpful in describing how the universe works.

well, when we can't fly, we run as fast as we can to protect a blind belief based world view.
science doesn't care what you believe. The universe works the way it works, not what you want to believe in.
