Because it's only good science if it supports what I already think. Tongue

Your thesis isn't scientifically testable, and doesn't qualify as science.

And on the contrary, the answer is only accepted if it supports what either of you already think, as demonstrated many times over in this thread.

For instance, if a reply does not presuppose the supernatural directly influences the physical, then it is discarded, or bombarded with questions as to how that can be so, without ever even addressing the question of how the supernatural can influence the material world, or 1., how one would know the supernatural exists, 2., that it does influence the physical body.
