Since life comes in a range of size, you cannot say it lies at the exact midpoint but the small range life comes in, does include the midpoint.
Why does the range of life include the midpoint? It calls for an explanation. I gave 2, a theistic one and a non theistic one.
You're essentially just repeating the same thing and not giving anyone any reason to think this is significant. Saying there is only one midpoint means nothing, because there is also only one point that is exactly 13/27 from the bottom of the scale. Every point is unique, and by not clarifying how this has any significance beyond human brains might find it interesting, you seem to be simply making an appeal to emotion
And what percentage of life falls onto that midpoint? It appears as if rasetsu was right and you're committing a Texas sharp-shooter fallacy.
