Believing in Something Invisible

[FallingWaters]

I was just reading the wiki on Dark Matter when the first sentence struck me.

Many times in my life, I have heard or seen atheistic objections to belief in God because He is invisible,
so we can't prove He is there.
Yet apparently, atheists don't have any trouble believing in invisible things when it suits their agenda.

Dark Matter
"In astrophysics and cosmology, dark matter refers to hypothetical matter of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter."

In a very similar way, I could describe God!
i.e. God is someone who does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from [His] effects on visible matter.

Just an observation.

Sorry, I didn't realize the rules had changed.

Your post is off-topic,
and also not allowed here
because you are not a creationist.

Curious that people are eager to make one inference, but not another. That people make these inferences is good reason to embrace a biblical truth. We try to believe in stuff we don't see and so often mess it up.
