Thanks for agreeing with me, dad. I knew you had it in you! Welcome in the ranks of reasonable atheism!
The problem of missing neutrinos in the sun is an issue. I agree. It is hilarious how the same staters scrambled to cook up some supposed answer.
"The
solar neutrino problem was a major discrepancy between measurements of the numbers of
neutrinos flowing through the
Earth and theoretical models of the
solar interior.."

So, to smooth over the problem, here is what they did..
"
Neutrino oscillations are a
quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted by
Bruno Pontecorvo whereby a
neutrino created with a specific
lepton flavor (
electron,
muon or
tau) can later be
measured to have a different flavor. The probability of measuring a particular flavor for a neutrino varies periodically as it propagates. Neutrino oscillation is of
theoretical and
experimental interest since observation of the phenomenon implies that the neutrino has a non-zero mass, which is not part of the original
Standard Model of
particle physics."

In other words...BS.
Yes, there is a God.
So, let's look at the wand waving of so called science here in more detail..
"After three decades of searching, physicists have tracked down subatomic particles that have eluded them for 30 years. The particles, it turns out, were right there all the while but had
hidden themselves as if
by magic.
During the neutrinos' 93-million-mile journey from the Sun to the Earth, the researchers said, about
two-thirds change into other varieties that are more difficult to detect."

Time for a revolution, kids.
