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?
You could also put a a blank panels for “love then” and “love now”.
If you can’t take a photo of love, then love doesn’t exist, right?
Yet. Can’t take a photo of a dream yet
Musk is working on that, though. Seeing all the weird shit neuralink records from people’s dreams is gonna be wild.
You can’t take a photo of love, but you can take an MRI of brain function to show what the brain does in order to give you the emotion of love.
Everything that is real can at least be measured indirectly.
We can’t detect morality either, I guess it doesn’t exist.
If you truly want to see God, you need only look into a mirror. Humans are gods. We have the power of life and death. We can make the impossible possible. It just doesn’t happen in the blink of an eye.
Imagine the world religions if we found a Halo. We’d become the covenant overnight 🙃
Since there has been so little time for DNA to develop to its current complexity, I’m pretty sure that the answer to the Fermi Paradox is that we are early, if not the first species to develop an advanced society.
I can totally see us deciding that we need to scour the galaxy/universe of all other “competition.” We’ll end up building the Halos and become The Reapers
