If I couldn't reason out what's happening with something as simple as to where these things come from, I should call myself agnostic too.


its possible to reason that only after making assumptions..

Btw, if you want to convey your view to another person its best to be as sarcasm-free as possible..
You are debating this with lots of emotions, not how you would approach a subject you actually would want to arrive to a consensus to.

what i see here is just different semantic understanding of the same terms.
for example, when someone said they believe in Thor, it means that they believe in a specific deity with specific powers and specific backstory and history, same with Vishnu, Islamic god, Abrahamic god and Christian god.
But just the concept of a being that is beyond time and space is not necessarily belongs to any religion.

so, we need to understand what we mean when we say the word believe to each other here. when the woman in the photo asks "do you believe in Thor?" as far as i understand, she means "Do you think Thor exists somewhat as depicted in the stories about him?" (with his powers and etc)
and logically i know that i cannot know that, of course also logically i shouldnt act like he is real just because i cant prove he isnt cause thats just madness..
But stating that he is for sure not real - however funny it may sound - is not scientific.

Just like scientists not saying that we for sure have only one universe and not saying that we for sure have a multiverse.. they explore and try to eliminate sub-possibilities, step by step, excruciatingly slow, yes, but that is how science and gaining true knowledge is done - through admitting that you dont know for the time being.
