Atheists be like
I cant measure god so he's not real, but I can measure love so its not real

Atheists make me so frustrated. Why can’t they just believe in Sky Daddy?

Why did this show fall off so hard? No one talks about season 8

>>212298978 (OP)
It’s incredible, isn’t it?

>cant measure
>measurable as a chemical reaction

I predict this thread will be deleted once the science denying Christ thumpers show up

My contrarian brain is telling me to watch it now since the original voice actor got cancelled by horrid women.

I think it was the dragon episode and the incest baby episodes.

>>212299156
That episode was funny since Rick is basically a wizard himself. It’s all fucking ingenious bullshit.

“It’s not magic it’s science”

>>212299156
You know with these at least you could say they tried something.
Current season has an episode that's just 20 minutes generic cartoon action scenes with that space-clone Beth, I ended up leaving it in the background while browsing tv.

If you don’t treat nature, existence itself, as something godlike or divine or magical, then you don’t actually love or appreciate nature, or science, do you?

Said this to my old physics professor once and he fucking LOST it on me.

This doesn't really say love is not real, it just demystifies it and says it something that comes and goes instead of being some kind of eternal magic power

Atheistm and gnosism are both extremes and should be avoided.
A healthy mind neither rejects the spiritual nor the material.

You did nothing wrong. So many nerds and boomers today are terrified of seeing wonder and mystery and beauty within the world. They cannot see a force of beauty it gives them a sort of cognitive dissonance so their amygdala freaks out.

>>212299381
Why would you defend something the writer wrote as a joke? Rick is supposed to be a nihilistic jerk here and the episode is about him being horribly wrong.

>>212299373
I don't get why you can't love or appreciate something without treating it as something godlike, divine or magical. All of those terms just describe different concepts to me

>>212299435
I'm not defending it or saying I'm agreeing with it, OP's premise is just wrong

>>212299373
Nature is horrible.

Then you’re an idiot.

Magic is the chemical reaction in the brain leading up to “wow, it’s like magic!”, even if the same word (“magic”) isn’t used. That feeling a biologist feels when they they discover a new form of deep sea life? That’s magic.

It’s the birth of religion. The ancients who had looked to the stars in the night sky, seeing them as gods. Magic is an expression, sourced to perception, which ties into illusion, or just exposure logic. There is no grander stage than the deep black abyss that is space. No bigger veil. It’s indistinguishable from religion. The ancients who had looked to the night sky, seeing the stars as gods, is no different from the magician on a stage pulling a white rabbit out of a black hat.

Magic IS a black box — one that is white within.

Even Tolkien knew this. It’s why machines are seen as sorcery in middle-earth, or why the elves don’t consider themselves magical beings. Gandalf isn’t a wizard back home in Valinor, and he’s seen by the elves the same way the elves are seen by men, and hobbits.

Magic is a bar. “Magic”.

Do you really think an alien UFO wouldn’t be borderline magic to today’s physicists? Even gravity is borderline magic today. Its mysteries are still prevalent. Wonderful.

If things like mystery and wonder (and horror) make magic then ignorance is the greatest mystery of all. Humans thinking they know everything is hilarious. Go and ask a zoomer how their cellphone works. The competency crisis is transpiring, and black boxes are everywhere. We’re re-hiring retired old people because young people don’t know how to do basic shit anymore. Pic related.

Biology is magic, fag. Magic is Alive.
