I don't understand pantheism

[Gearbreak]

Man that's a lot of shit to say about my small opinion on this. The universe is vast and mostly unknown, who knows what the fuck else we're going to find. So I don't like to say anything is impossible until we know everything. 
And I'm not feeding anything, people who believe shit will believe shit despite what I say. Hell I hope the most harmful thing people believe in the future is that the universe is conscious. I hate the violence that is perpetuated by religion, not belief itself.

You are postulating a gap answer, and it is no better than when theists use a God of the gaps.

Saying you don't know something is fine, making up woo is to fill in the gap is still a naked assertion.

If there is no need to fill in the gap with old God/s/deities/super natural, then there is also no need to add the superfluous naked assertion that the universe itself is a giant cognition. It would still as an idea be a gap answer, and still suffer the problems of "begging the question" and "infinite regress".

It is ok to ditch bad claims. In fact it is not only ok, it is a good thing. Never postulate anything with extra baggage. As I said in a prior post, if you already accept that there is no cognition named Poseidon causing hurricanes, nor a cognition named Thor causing lightening then the universe itself does not need the extra baggage gap filling naked assertion as being a giant cognition itself.

And I already explained to you that there are tons if steps between a single particle to an entire in tact life. You cannot have cognition in life by skipping those steps. You cannot treat say a quark as an entire neuron much less an entire in tact brain all by itself. 

You are correct that there are lots of unknowns, but there is also alot we DO KNOW, and scientists know that atoms in non living objects are arranged far differently than carbon based life. That makes it literally physically impossible for the universe to be a giant cognition itself. 

If you think that way, you might as well chalk all this up to a giant invisible pink unicorn too.

I don't have the energy to argue about something I don't care that much about. I disagree but I'm going to back off this one.
