Nope. It's invisible pink unicorns not God.

C'mon squire, I asked for a rational alternative to the material:God issue.

As an aside, most of the matter in the universe is apparently invisible anyway: dark matter. So, it appears, the word 'invisible' is indeed acceptable to the materialistic position!!

Actually, it turns out that 'dark/invisible matter' is the necessary invention required to maintain the actual reality/cause of a material universe. A mathematical necessity. It's ironic really that you're here taking the piss, yet the physicists to which you faithfully adhere to are apparently inventing their own versions of pink unicorns in order to maintain the credibility of an actual material universe. ;)

From a philosophical/metaphysical point of view, one must surely object to invisible entities being invented in order to maintain the credibility of a particular ontological view, because that is precisely the case here, be it of mathematical necessity or not.

How ironic that your worldview necessarily employs pink unicorns of sorts, yet you're here taking the piss. :coffee:
