Is God a logical contradiction?

Protons are a component of the explicitly material theory that explains marbles existence and attributes.

To use “immaterial” as a stand-in for the relationship between protons, marbles, and human perception and intelligence is to employ the term in a highly metaphoric way.

Not this this is a problem, as another poster mentioned the use of the term does strongly suggest that it’s inherently metaphor for something that would be “material” in any non novel sense.  The example being that energy is, in fact, “material”.

I think that with our best explanation of the world being so explicitly material....and as we’ve learned more about the world than we previously had means to know...the set has become so expansive that it includes things we might have previously thought were “other than”.

Even things like a virtual realty are still a material reality.  They’re descriptions of the states and relationships of material gates, juxtaposed with a description of the content of our material brains.

whats a proton?  Its a particles popping into and out of existence.  The net effect is what we call a proton.  Kind of like how you are a group of cells interacting with a net effect of you.

The best way I can put it is that "if its all an illusion then its as real as it gets."  so yeah, I agree with you, the standard model is all we have.  and thats that.
