No there is plenty of science to support the idea that sperm and dead leaves don't think or feel anything. Is it beyond any doubt? No, but I would classify it as beyond reasonable doubt.

Of course the examples shouldn't detract from the point. Poor analogies do not make the point the analogies where trying to make false.

As for not having facts about the mind of God, of course I don't have scientific principles and facts. But will you toss out all of theology, meta-physics, and ethics if it can't be established by the scientific method?
