What about what is disputable? Don't we share common DNA with a blade of grass? Is there any evidence to the contrary about anything I said? I mean this sincerely.


The problem lies with the word "so". A star died because it died. Not so that you can live. You live because condition existed for you to live. Not because a star sacrificed itself to make the condition exist.

"So" implies intent and purpose. This is where theism creeps into pantheism and prys it away from a rigorous view of reality and into something ultimately no better than another wish thinking theism.
