This feels more like an anti-atheist meme, since it implies that we might find evidence of God in the future even if we don’t have it now. Also implies that visual proof is the only kind of evidence which just isn’t the case.
I disagree. As science goes, we must always remain open-minded, yet, the confirmation of a data point will only reinforce an assertion. An assertion such as, “There, still, is no evidence of the supernatural, such as a god or gods.”
And even if we found “something” we’d have to define it. Perhaps it’s just some very advanced, powerful alien like a Q that appears god-like? That doesn’t make it magic. That just makes it advanced beyond our current understanding, and that’s not the same thing.
I am an atheist and would be fine if we found evidence of literally any kinda god. I am making a determination based on what I have to work with, if I have more to work with I will make a new determination.
You do have to admit, from the theist pov, it is a bit disturbing that everything you can say about God is pretty much what you could say a 100 years ago. Everything we have learned hasn’t added to that body of knowledge. Why is that?

And take that logic one step further. How much has been discovered and learned in the last century that was previously attributable to God by theists because we didn’t understand it? Doesnt the shrinking list of cosmic unknowns imply a diminish role for a god in our “organized” existence?
I saw that post about our view of the universe being wrong, how the expansion is a bit different than previously considered. And it got me thinking about the theory of macro and micro being pretty similar to each other. Which led me to the idea of the universe being a creature and us living on the equivalent of a proton or something within a living cell. Then i started wondering what kind of creature we were living in and whether we were a part of it or an infection. And if so, are there any white cells roaming around looking to get rid of us?
Finally, I reached the conclusion that imagination is one helluva drug and i need to get out more to keep in touch with reality.
I dislike this meme because it fails to acknowledge that Christianity (which these posts are often about) has the “you can’t test god” rule, so this is entirely expected from a believer’s pov.
Except they did not have that rule until they repeatedly failed all their tests.
I think Deuteronomy 6:16 “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.” Is not “except they did not have that rule until they repeatedly failed all their tests”.
Maybe I am misunderstanding you or maybe I am missing something, but I think you are wrong.
Now do dark matter
I mean rather explain me exactly what dark mater is?
Because as far as I know they need the matter that we can’t see so that the model of our universe first looks like that what we observe and second doesn’t fall apart. The same with the dark energy. Our model won’t work without invisible matter and energy.
But what does this actually mean?
Might be a good place to start
Can’t we just generate a picture of God with AI?
