The closest I have to religion is naturalist, which is to say based on the data I have, I can't find any evidence anywhere of supernatural effects, and while I haven't personally done the looking, the scientific consensus is that there's nothing, even when it comes to religious investigators actively looking for evidence of the stuff they expect to see.
To date, there are some pretty high bounties on evidence of various kinds of spooky shit that remain unclaimed.
Of course, I don't know this to be the case. The simulation hypothesis has not been ruled out, which would allow for effects we cannot detect. It doesn't stop me from worshiping my cat. (Cat-huffing. It's a thing.) And it raises questions whether we are the same person when we wake up after non-REM sleep, or a new iteration of the identity. (The transporter paradox). But so far, the most likely explanation is we're material girls living in a material world.
In my opinion, if somebody states that there's something spooky going on, then the onus is on them to provide evidence and prove what they're saying. I don't have to do anything.
"isn't it spooky how all the evidence just ups and dissapppears when you look at it?!"
That experiment made my brain hurt
Sorry.
Lol 😂
Don't we have spooky quarks? I know we have strange ones, and charm quarks... Feels like we should have spooky quarks.
We do have spooky action at a distance
We have quantum entanglement, basically magic
Anything not fully understood by science is magic
Yes, and since we'll never have understood everything there will always be magic :)
