The first part of this post goes out to everyone I followed-on-a-whim like the creepy stalker I am, who could be investigating my blog (as you tend to do, when people follow you, i guess). Hellow! How are you? :3 The more followers I get, the more interesting I'll be, I guess. Honestly, I do care how you are, so comment and let me know. :3
THIS PART of this post is one of my many theories, now reserved for blogging on a Wednesday night.
WARNING: SCEINCE
As exactly one of you knows, I really like astrophysics. Physics in general, but astrophysics, and theoretical physics, particularly interest me. As that same one of you knows, I'm an atheist, and I stay up very late at night.
Let me define "atheist". "One who does not believe in a God or Gods". Specifically, I do not believe that there is a god now. Why?
To quote the Terry Pratchett I used in my previous post!
DEATH: HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
Susan: Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little -
DEATH: YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
DEATH: YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
Susan: They’re not the same at all!
DEATH: YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER, AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET, YOU TRY TO ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD. AS IF THERE IS SOME … SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
Susan: Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point -
DEATH: MY POINT EXACTLY.
There is no mercy, nor justice, nor duty - but people have just got to believe that. So regardless of whether or not there is a God, there is none of the things in the universe that this God is supposed to embody.
My latest theory was prompted by a friend's link on facebook. It was something about "Can you see god, can you touch god, then he doesn't exist, well can you see your brain, can you touch your brain, then it musn't exist either". To which I promptly pointed out that, yes, in fact, you can touch your brain, and you do, every second and every moment of the day. What with it being a part of you and all.
My response was as follows (copypasta from where it was really developed, in a converstation with my Rororo?!, whose name must always be printed like that.

>"Can you see or touch a black hole? No. Does that mean they do not exist? No, it does not. However, the existance of them means that, if at any point, there was a god or gods, they were ripped out of the universe by them, since anything with a universal/omnipresence would ergo be everywhere at once - and eventually cease to exist."
>"Also, yeah, you can touch your brain. You do. All the damn time."

If God exists, then it exists Inside Of Logic, and therefore is destroyable.

and therefore is subject to gravity just like everything else
and even something that immense could not be not torn apart by the billions of black holes, gravitational pulls and the expansion of the universe. eventually, God would be torn apart - just like space-time.

delicious delicious copypasta
I often get the "it is logical that God exists" argument, to which I always think, well, no. It is logical that if God existed, it no longer does - as anything embodied by, fought for, fought over and put in the mouth of God seems to be the opposite of anything a or many Gods would want for its creations.
Now, this does not completely disprove God. I will never say I have done such a thing. Freedom is a two-way street, and as I may believe as I will, I give you my blessings in whatever non-violent and non-oppressive beliefs you have. To be honest, I believe you're intitled to your beliefs as long as it's not stupid - like, you're not intitled to believe that rap music is good (except for Lady Sovereign, who is not good, but awesome.Yeah, I'm English, try and deport me.)
And that about does it for today's Science.
