And you know what, that might just very well be true if we’re talking about some supernatural force that is indifferent to its creations, not out of malice, but because it simply is truly neutral.

But as evidence for the religious capital ‘G’ God, the one who communicates and plans every little detail because he loves us so much? What is the point of these “subtle” proofs that took thousands of years to be studied and recorded when he has shown that he can just pop up anywhere or perform miracles and whatever the fuck.

It is no coincidence that the vast majority, possibly 99%, of devout religious people do not give a shit about using math to explain god because it’s all proven in their holy books. It is no coincidence that the “empirical” evidence is, in reality, just pointing at the existence of features and concepts of math and science rather than utilizing said features and concepts to prove the existence of god. And no, philosophical musings about morality using the language of mathematical proofs does not count as utilizing math and science (literally, all the axioms in these types of "proofs" are subjective shit like "bad" and "good" and not, say, the difference between 1 and 0).

And I didn’t even want to make a post dunking on religion, but I’m irritated because YouTube recommended some dumbass video by a channel called “Reformed Zoomer” and one of the arguments is “there is an infinite range of numbers between two numbers, and if we turn those numbers into letters, then every book possible has already been written. Checkmate atheoids”. https://youtu.be/z0hxb5UVaNE?si=RpjF6S0fHiF71iH-

    Neocortex mostly, although some supposing amount of it is related to the amygdala. Mostly, there is alot of stuff about neurotransmitters modulating that activity though. Depends on the kind of thought. They can pretty reasonably narrow down some kinds of memory to s few cm2 of brain. Everything plays a role. I could find your some neuroscience tiktoks if you like. You'd have to be a bit more specific about memory for me to give you an answer. From my understanding every concept is a patten of neural segments. Memory is your brain replaying the concepts for a specific thing or event. Which is why over time memories can get fuzzy or change. Each time it is an active process.
