I don't eat the sweats, I just lick them for the salt content

This entire pie chart makes up the less than 5% of the actual Universe made up of particles that our crude senses and instruments can detect.

We are a bit of cosmic pollution; the Universe would be essentially unchanged if all normal matter in it disappeared.

And some people think Sky Daddy made the whole thing Just For Them

While I agree, this line of argument could be taken to bolster Sky Daddy's love for us and only us.

The whole universe is so different from us, but our little bitty part is just right. Clearly, Sky Daddy made the particles our crude sense and instruments can detect just for us, but Sky Daddy truly is unknowable (and made of the other stuff).

What are the chances that we would evolve on a planet with the perfect atmosphere and biome for us to survive? Checkmate, atheists.

What is the chance anteaters would evolve on a planet with the perfect atmosphere and biome for them to survive? Do you think the perfect food just randomly evolved by happenstance? Obviously this universe was created for anteaters.

Sweat is disgusting oxygenist propaganda. Why can't you just leak pure hydrogen from your pores like a normal molecule?

That just proves that God is an anteater

I get what you are saying but this is actually how science works. If you want to higher level of abstraction you do generalize, if you want to go to detail you want as much categories as possible to differentiate noise from actuall difference.

If you want to calculate the mass of the milkyway it might be reasonable to focus only on these two element, however if you want to study the mass of the planets of our tiny solar system you can probably consider other elements too.

So there are good cases when to differentiate and when not to. Which is probably not the point you wanted to make.

According to astronomers there are 3 'elements' in the universe: Hydrogen, Helium and Metal.

A scientist knows that every model is flawed, but some are useful.

A bigot thinks their view of the world is the only valid one, even when presented with contrary evidence.

In a Neutron star, even electrons are metal.

Ah, so that's why looking it up first got me "retarded matter".

An engineer knows that without applications, science is just magic, but we know that what isn't immediately applicable will someday be wonderful

A bigot is terrified that what they know to be true in this moment will be revealed to be the most basic understanding of a thing, and almost entirely incorrect (but good enough for children to start with)

Anteaters are on their way to becoming crabs.
