Reminds me of a philosophy professor who suggested that I don’t refer to the Higgs as the “God Particle” during my final presentation as to not give the god-fearing students any indication that a god exists.
A priest, atheist, and a quantum physicist are sitting in a pub when the bartender asks, “Is there an afterlife?”
The priest replies, “Of course there is, it is so written in the bible.”
The atheist replies, “Of course there isn’t, there is no evidence anywhere to support such a ridiculous idea! Hey, you there, the physicist, you agree with me, right?”
The quantum physicist turns quietly and replies, “Since afterlife is an event unobservable to the living, and the only way to know for sure is to actually die and personally observe the results, and it appears that there is a 50% chance to either possibility…”
Everyone stares at the physicist.
The physicist continues, “The correct answer is that yes, there IS an afterlife AND no, there ISN’T an afterlife.”
Since getting gored to death by a wildebeest on your trip to South Africa next week is unknowable by anyone before you go to South Africa… would you therefore say it is 50% likely to happen? Especially if you’re going to sit in wineries for the whole time.

If god were a particle;
and particles makes each one of us and the universe;
then god did make each one of us and the universe.
god is inside us, flows through us, and binds the universe together…
stop playing with that…that’s god. You should be ashamed.
Haha, I have a feeling you’re being sarcastic but something tells me you may be serious. That worries me.
