In 'The Three Body Problem', we see a prominent scholar and professor being publicly beaten by the communist party for not denying God's existence. He goes on to say that 'Science hasn't provided any definitive answer'. So I'm curious, .

A definitive answer is impossible unless God makes itself known. There is no evidence for god and thus no scientific answer. God is a belief, belief is not scientific.

There is a bunch of evidence for God

thank you for the response, but i think it needs a little punctuation.

I try to write in columns but lemmy doesnt include all the spaces

[-] turdburglar@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

that kindof a weird way to write in a thread/forum based system.

People can be tricked is a simpler explanation. Magicians have entire shows where they trick the perceptions of hundreds to thousands every night. Letters and witnesses could just as easily be justified as aliens rather than god.

No idea what you mean about "alive cardiac tissue on catholic hosts".

back then, they didnt have 4k resolution footage, so letters and archeological and literary sources are the some of the best proof we can get.

also, back then, ink, a writing station, a quill were expensive and it was extremely hard to forge writing

and alive human cardiac tissue was found growing on hosts in a catholic church

They're proof that people believed a thing happened. Its not proof the thing happened. Im not saying the letters are forgery, simply they don't suffice as proof. Why haven't they showed up in 4k to make the non-believers shut up and save them from hell?

Ddg tells me that catholic hosts refers to communion wafers. Are you saying that there's cardiac tissue in communion? What source do you have for that claim? Can I genome sequence or clone Jesus then?

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 month ago

they were eyewitness accounts

who gives eyewitness if they BELIEVE it has happened?

eyewitness can only be given if you have seen it happen with your very own eyes

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I can say a magician pulled a rabbit out of an empty hat, doesn't mean there's actual magic. Belief in your perception is exactly how magic tricks work, eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable.

Besides the church a singular time has anyone confirmed the appearance of tissue and blood?

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 weeks ago

the multiple experts, and they have multiple photos.

eyewitnesses and letters and archeological proof is all we have of basically anything that was 2000+ years ago
