I really hate how simple minded some christians are.
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired
I will never let go of evangelists literally pointing on a tree, saying, that it is a proof of God
I said this is smart, because most people hear it from their 3rd grade teacher and just take it on faith without ever asking for a justification...
Someone said "well because we can go to space and stuff is proof that the atomic model must be accurate"
When you really think about it, it's kind of the same vibe...
@LukeAlmighty these people should probably just kill themselves. okay that's a joke but really, you can't find ANY other reason to live than something intangible and unknowable? and i say this as a Christian. there are soooooooooo many things to live for.
@beardalaxy More importantly, it shouldn't take a genius to figure out, that without God, it's either this, or nothing. And I will enjoy plenty of nothing eventually anyway, so I can try the rest of this too.
@beardalaxy Not to mention, that ethernal life of hapyness sounds like a better argument for suicide anyway, but details :D

You lot love International State Mandated Egalitarianism
Christianity has always been a kosher nwo weapon and kosher gatekeeping group to prevent goyim , espically whitey discovering the power of White Unity under Race and rejecting NWO/National statism and using voilence to purge the parasites and traitors
Keep praying to Sky Jew
you lot are just as bad as Commies and liberals
@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy An even bigger point is that having gods/afterlives can't change metaphysics, it does not add any 'meaning', they are extra «is»es you shan't get any «ought»s from
@cjd @LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired For someone in 3rd grade asking that is smart, but an adult should have learned elementary chemistry
Why is it more likely that everything is made of tiny atoms as opposed to everything being made of solid stuff ?
You can't just hand-wave and say "chemistry", as if the fact that carbon burns in oxygen somehow proves that the carbon and the oxygen are made out of tiny little pieces as opposed to, say, solid globs.
Tell me how we know that we're not living in a world where all observable laws of nature are the same, but atoms don't exist.
This is called Brownian motion, and it is explained by matter being made of particles that push against everything and when the matter is small enough the energy of individual particles is enough to jostle things around. It isn't the only proof, but it's good evidence that matter is made of molecules, and that heat is related to the movement of those particles.
It was Albert Einstein who described Brownian motion mathematically which was one of the major things which helped tip the consensus of scientists towards atomic theory rather than something else.
(I know, you weren't asking but I thought Brownian motion is pretty cool so I decided to share anyway)

My memory of chemistry in school was that it was mostly "these things exist, memorize them". I definitely don't remember any teacher attempting to prove atoms against a devil's advocate.
@cjd @LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired How can they be different if they can mix infinitely? You can pick apart a salat with a fork but you can hardly remove the pepperoni from a blended pizza. The best I can really guess is if they existed as separate layers of reality within hard shapes and could overlap but not mix, but that is getting a lot more convoluted than having little bits of stuff
I am for playing devil's advocate, but there are definitely better things to do it with than the foundation of all modern chemistry
In my school we did not do devil's advocate but we did spend a decent amount of time on the history of the things we learned and why we think the things we think. It might just be different in Iceland
