This feels more like an anti-atheist meme, since it implies that we might find evidence of God in the future even if we don't have it now. Also implies that visual proof is the only kind of evidence which just isn't the case.

I disagree. As science goes, we must always remain open-minded, yet, the confirmation of a data point will only reinforce an assertion. An assertion such as, “There, still, is no evidence of the supernatural, such as a god or gods.”

And even if we found “something” we’d have to define it. Perhaps it’s just some very advanced, powerful alien like a Q that appears god-like? That doesn’t make it magic. That just makes it advanced beyond our current understanding, and that’s not the same thing.

I mean I agree but the meme is still dumb.

I am an atheist and would be fine if we found evidence of literally any kinda god. I am making a determination based on what I have to work with, if I have more to work with I will make a new determination.

You do have to admit, from the theist pov, it is a bit disturbing that everything you can say about God is pretty much what you could say a 100 years ago. Everything we have learned hasn't added to that body of knowledge. Why is that?

And take that logic one step further. How much has been discovered and learned in the last century that was previously attributable to God by theists because we didn't understand it? Doesnt the shrinking list of cosmic unknowns imply a diminish role for a god in our "organized" existence?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

The tri-omni has been phoning it in the past century.

[–] revlayle@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Colloquially known as "the god of the gaps". If you put your faith in god's power based on the unknowable, then god's power continually decreases as the unknowable becomes known.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago

Well, there's Brahma orbiting Pluto right in this picture, what other evidence do you need?

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Because God wills it to be that way.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I saw that post about our view of the universe being wrong, how the expansion is a bit different than previously considered. And it got me thinking about the theory of macro and micro being pretty similar to each other. Which led me to the idea of the universe being a creature and us living on the equivalent of a proton or something within a living cell. Then i started wondering what kind of creature we were living in and whether we were a part of it or an infection. And if so, are there any white cells roaming around looking to get rid of us?

Finally, I reached the conclusion that imagination is one helluva drug and i need to get out more to keep in touch with reality.

Now pitch it to netflix

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

We live in one of the protons that make up the body of a high elf priestess. Do with that knowledge what you wish. I have seen the truth 🧐

So, Horton hears a who?

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I dislike this meme because it fails to acknowledge that Christianity (which these posts are often about) has the "you can't test god" rule, so this is entirely expected from a believer's pov.

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Except they did not have that rule until they repeatedly failed all their tests.

Weird ass rule.

Test god? Impossible.

Fiddle duel with the devil? Plausible.

You want to see a picture of lots of math?

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago (4 children)

I mean rather explain me exactly what dark mater is?

Because as far as I know they need the matter that we can't see so that the model of our universe first looks like that what we observe and second doesn't fall apart. The same with the dark energy. Our model won't work without invisible matter and energy.

But what does this actually mean?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It means the model is broken.

[–] Floshie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Well, as a matter of fact, I don't have anything to say but this stupid pun

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's just Nibblonian poop.

[–] sus@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

wikipedia describes dark matter as a "hypothetical form of matter"

Can't we just generate a picture of God with AI?

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 5 points 8 months ago

Don't give Skynet any ideas.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nice! I've bever seen a picture of a higgs boson particle before.

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

LOL on that Brahma logo placed next to Pluto Now. 🤣

[–] ech@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

The compulsion to watermark a meme confounds me.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

Did you try turning up the Belief?

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

OLED makes this meme better.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Imagine the world religions if we found a Halo. We'd become the covenant overnight 🙃

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Since there has been so little time for DNA to develop to its current complexity, I'm pretty sure that the answer to the Fermi Paradox is that we are early, if not the first species to develop an advanced society.

I can totally see us deciding that we need to scour the galaxy/universe of all other "competition." We'll end up building the Halos and become The Reapers

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I need to live long enough to see us build a Halo
