Atoms are barely material at all, they're scarcely the faint whiff of a homeopathic ghost fart..
What I am talking about is matter taking up all available space, pure absolute matter. No void space, no atomic space, no space not filled up with matter. 100% mass.
Yes, you ignorant, unlettered baboon, I understand that at subatomic levels all matter is mostly empty space. It no more means that water isn't matter any more than the rock Samuel Johnson kicked isn't matter. Atoms are matter no matter how muck your science denying relugious views want you to think otherwise.
So what you're saying is that god is a neutron star, the densest form of matter there is? Look Arkilogue, sto talking about science, you haven't the first clue about even the most basic stuff that they teach in primary schools, and it is clear you don't give one fuck about learning any science. All you see is that you can twist basic ideas into a tortured form which represents your own personal form of christianity, abandoning all ideas of evidence, objectivity or even sense. The problem for you is that the more you talk the more an idiot you show yourself to be.
By your own words you have dismissed everything considered material as non-material simply because you don't understand the difference between micro and macro.
No neutron stars are not even close to the densest form of matter. They are nearly identical to protons. Neutrons like protons are very large spheres compared to the tiny 2 down quarks and 1 up quark they are composed of...plus virtual particle annihilations. And you tell me I don't science......hilarious!

Matter is built on flaky foundations. Physicists have now confirmed that the apparently substantial stuff is actually no more than fluctuations in the quantum vacuum.
The researchers simulated the frantic activity that goes on inside protons and neutrons. These particles provide almost all the mass of ordinary matter.
Each proton (or neutron) is made of three quarks – but the individual masses of these quarks only add up to about 1% of the proton’s mass. So what accounts for the rest of it?
Theory says it is created by the force that binds quarks together, called the strong nuclear force. In quantum terms, the strong force is carried by a field of virtual particles called gluons, randomly popping into existence and disappearing again. The energy of these vacuum fluctuations has to be included in the total mass of the proton and neutron.
Anything else you'd like to add for comedic relief?
