Thank you for your reply!

I find it amusing that we're discussing housing an entirely nebulous entity (the so called will to live) in an entirely hypothetical vacuum field...

Just don't call what you're doing science.

How bizarre. I just made a post on another thread which is responsive to your objection. Here's an excerpt:

IMHO, this is common "divide" when some of us (e.g. betty boop) enter these discussions.

For some, it is enough to observe the physical world from the visual, corporeal, four dimensional level. But for us, that does not satisfy.

We wonder why it is a certain way and not another, why it exists at all, what it is really made of, of what it is a part, where it came from, where it will lead.

To answer such questions concerning life (in particular here, biological life) - complexity [the issue on that thread, here it is the will to live] must be broached. Of course there are many mathematical tools to accomplish this - and different investigators are drawn to different toolboxes...

But such things are not of particular interest to everyone. So if you're not curious, then "no problemo"...

You may not believe our investigation here and speculation is science - but you would be wrong.

As evidence, here is an article comparing cosmologies. Please notice that all quantum cosmologies have a foot in the physically observable but otherwise are altogether speculative. The same could be said of string theory and a few decades ago, black hole theory.

Our investigation here has more than a single foothold, btw.
