Comment on She strongly disagrees
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 1 day agowe’re sure as shit nowhere near understanding anything enough to say a god DIDN’T do it.
But we also have zero solid evidence that a God did do it. Making and believing such an enormous claim without evidence is absolutely bananas

I agree, just like it’d be insane to claim we know anything else about our creation without evidence

Do you think the astronomers/cosmologists/astrophysicists piecing together the origins of the universe are doing so without evidence?
Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
No, I just think we’re missing a lot. The evidence we can gather is from a very teeny tiny section of the “universe-spanning crime scene.” It reminds me of The Expanse, they find something they don’t understand and they compare it to monkeys playing with a microwave:
“Push a button, a light comes on inside, so it’s a light. Push a different button and stick your hand inside, it burns you, so it’s a weapon. Learn to open and close the door, it’s a place to hide things. Never grasping what it actually did, and maybe not even having the framework necessary to figure it out. No monkey ever reheated a frozen burrito.”
Like yeah, astronomers/cosmologists/astrophysicists are smart compared to the average human, but the average human is smart compared to a chimp. Are we even capable of putting the pieces together that we’re getting?

Yes, absolutely, and more progress is made as more new evidence is found. The thing is, until that happens, scientists are perfectly comfortable with the gaps, and saying “I don’t know”, instead of filling those gaps with an evil sky wizard.
