Considering that your position seems to be that there's no way to tell the difference between extant things, that physical objects have no easily identifiable characteristics unless we make recourse to some vaguely defined, only ever asserted, magic woo-woo template for sensible bodies, perhaps the problem isn't that the replies you're being given aren't intelligent, but that you've committed yourself to a borderline unintelligible position to begin with. You've been inured in the depths of this utterly vapid set of ideas for so long that sensible replies to your assertions must be so far removed from what you pretend to know to be true... I doubt you'd even recognize an intelligent, realistic reply from the fantasy world in which you're standing.
It literally amounts emotions and gap filling. It is nothing but getting stuck on pretty. It never occurs to believers that they all make the same arguments with the same amount of evidence which is nothing more than excuse making for a naked assertion.
Facing our finite reality is frightening to believers. I find being infinite more frightening considering all the competing factions and what they all say they will do to enemies.
