If we weren't correct about atoms then we would not have chemistry, or electronics. If we were wrong, Mariosep wouldn't be using a computer to try to convince us that we can't prove the existence of atoms.

I'd like to see Mariosep pray his posts into existence, rather than piggybacking off science.

I'd like to see Mariosep prove that he exists.

And in what form.  My best guess is as an acned, homeschooled teenager or young adult living in their parent's basement without a proper girl friend or, more accurately, unable to decide between righty and lefty.

I want a logical proof from Mariosep that he exists but without the use of evidence.

Please just STOP already.

There is plenty of evidence that atoms exist: photos of atoms using scanning tunneling microscopy, brownian motion, avogadro's number, quantum mechanical description of atoms predicts to an astonishingly accuracy, the details of atomic spectra, elevation maps of surfaces that show the bumps caused by individual atoms sand more.

And quite a few people have already posted the above evidence. But, since you are intellectually dishonest, you have ignored them, as expected.

See, there is no need to come up with some flawed 'logical argument' for the existence of atoms. We have actual demonstrable, falsifiable evidence that makes predictions.

Now, it is time for you to demonstrate even a fraction of that level of evidence for your god as there is for atoms.


Or better yet, just go away.

I really wish we had a mic drop emoji.

I wanna play too!
From https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/1570...omic-bonds:


"[a] research group recently imaged a hydrogen atom’s orbiting electron for the first time (pictured above). To do this, a new device, called a quantum microscope, was used. Just like the imaged molecules, the electron orbit is exactly as predicted. "

At this point I'd even settle for a brain in a jar.

Hopefully he is unacquainted with the Popeye Principle.
