  Ok, have you accepted the lord Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour?

    Black holes were thought to be only theoretical until we fucking found one.

      Theoretical is not the same as “made the fuck up”

      Something being theoretical is as good as it gets short of being observed in science, it means the most evidence points to it being real which is why we spent insane amounts of money to find evidence of it.

      If you were to postulate black holes without evidence they would exist but they would still made the fuck up until proven otherwise, not “theoretical”.

      Again, have you accepted the lord Jesus Christ?

    I give him the same level of acceptance as Allah, Vishnu, Odin, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. There’s a nonzero possibility that they’re real, after all. I try to keep an open mind.

      Sure, I give a sentient mollusk the same credence, i.e. a token amount that does not change my behaviour at all.

        Right, because that token credence is completely in line with your previous assertive dismissal of your earlier comments.
