I've posted what I've gathered about scientific perspectives, given an opinion, and asked others for theirs. That is not spam, it's a discussion.
Bullshit. It's about 10 discussions, all variations on a theme: you pretending to engage in open philosophical discussion, while making unsupported assertions in support of your religious beliefs, which you dishonestly hide by claiming to be "agnostic." What are you agnostic about, other than logic and science?
I started 5 threads, each with their own exploration topic that I was interested in discussing.
I have just as much right to post my opinion on here as you do. We all form opinion based on our experiences and observations. I shared mine and asked for feedback. My opinions were based in science (not religion) and I put them out there willing to be challenged, which is more than I can say for some other people.
I recognize that forum fighting is how many people get their jollies, but I honestly was looking for honest discussion. So, please, unless you want to respectfully offer me feedback that advances my knowledge, back off and let me converse with people who do.

Also, wanted to express my appreciation for you providing one more moment of irony in the form of someone decrying science ... online ... with a computer ... powered by electricity ... well, you get the picture.
I hope.
I was not intending to be decrying science, only exploring the limitations of our understanding, which others seem to agree with. I do think we have come a long way from the days of a flat earth that is in the center of the solar system.
This particular debate was a philosophical one that is hard to refute. Reality being real cannot be proven by the scientific method, we either trust that or we don't. Science tells us sense receptors respond to vibrations and give us an experience. It really doesn't clarify anything about what "is". We have to take it as a given to move on with trying to understand everything else.
Beyond that, I'm concerned about some of the variables that have been identified by scientists recently that could be interfering with our ability to get an accurate picture of reality. "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" variables are of particular concern as it seems the 96% unobservable reality could possibly influence the 4% observable reality in significant ways.
