GATEKEEPER: I am not a theist. We just don't know enough for that stance yet. For me, the truth lies in between theist and atheist. I choose to state both have parts of it right. Instead of "they are wrong".-Then as David has pointed out, you are an agnostic. Welcome to my fence. However, while I would certainly not say anyone is wrong, I would hesitate to state both have parts of it right. The best I could do would be to say I think some arguments seem more likely than others.
 
GATEKEEPER: I use rom's monist and the pluralist view to state that we are part of a larger life form. And every new discovery gets it one step closer to fact. If space itself is a "thing". well then ... It must be alive because we are. 
I am not really a good "if-then" guy. When the "if's" have no constraints it confuses me.-Despite not being a good "if-then" guy, you write: "If space itself is a "thing", well then....It must be alive because we are." In looking for ultimate truths, we can't help being "if-then" guys, because whatever we come up with can only be some kind of hypothesis. I don't think the one I'm developing in my discussion with David will be any more confusing than your own!
