If we can't see an atom or a god, how do we 'prove' or 'disprove' these things exist, and do we even need proof?

[Procrustes Stretched]

From the science angle ... we only model atoms with discreet components ... protons, electrons and such ... but in reality they're more like waves than particles ... it's just useful to think of atoms as chunks of matter ... especially in chemistry ... and biology ...

Unfortunately ... science doesn't define "good" and "evil" ... or "God" and "Satan" ... that's left for the philosopher ...

Defining a concept does not make it true. Do good and evil even exist?

then: God? Satan? The Boogeyman? Santa? Oh wait! Xmas time, sorry...

Sperms were brought to earth from another planet to seed the earth, etc. ...........

Amusing theory to stand against the CC's acceptance of evolution!

Evolution theory is just that, a theory.

If we can't see an atom or a god, how do we 'prove' or 'disprove' these things exist, and do we even need proof? Why would proof be needed or desired? If we do a thorough investigation seeking evidence of the atom and of a god, where will we find ourselves?

So far:

The atom:

Is this correct? If not, what am I missing? What scientific proof is there of a god existing?

Is Trump evil? I know he bugs you. Plenty have called him evil, literally the next Hitler.
Or is that all hyperbole?

Do you truly believe humans are the top of the order?

Defining a concept does not make it true.

Yes it does ... by definition ... the Bohr Model of the Atom is exactly what Neils Bohr says it is ...

Do good and evil even exist?

then: God? Satan? The Boogeyman? Santa? Oh wait! Xmas time, sorry...

Good and evil exist if we make definitions ... and wars are fought over these definitions ... if you don't accept God that created Heaven and Earth, don't read the Bible, you won't understand any of it ... exactly the same if you don't believe the Bohr Model of the Atom, don't bother studying chemistry, you'll never understand ...

Really? I guess you fail history.

No one is claiming that science exists to save anything.

People look to science (human reasoning) for solutions to spiritual problems. The scientific solution is usually war of some sort.

What is a simple definition of theory?


1. : an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain facts or events. [count] a widely accepted scientific theory.

 

[Woodznutz]

You frame things in ways that then gives you the answers you seek.

Doesn't everyone?

Hang around, you're living in precisely the right time to get a look.

People have been saying that for hundreds of years, probably forever

Evil? Not sure he could rise to being so complimented.

Demented. Psychological twisted. Why else would he mock a journalist with a disability, referencing it with "You should see this guy"?

Hyperbole? Trump coined Truthful Hyperbole to cover his inanities, no?

Top of what order?

If? Okay. Go play with your ifs. Good and evil are human constructs, concepts. Do they exist in reality?

Actually, God reveals himself through his Holy Spirit only to a chosen few. The church is a pretty exclusive club.

Really? Who looks to science for a solution to a spiritual problem? WTF would an example of such a spiritual problem be?

Nope.

Yes they do, and the road to heel is paved with the skulls of Bishops.

Metaphor.
