We do have observational evidence of black holes; gravitational lensing is the most well-known, but there are various others as well such as the detection of gravitational waves (which also function as evidence for general relitivity by the way). Of course you can't "see" a black hole in the same way as you can "see" a star, but you can observe all sorts of effects that are extremely hard to explain otherwise.

The Standard Model predicted the Higgs Boson and its qualities nearly perfectly, even though for decades we could not actually observe one, because it required an incredibly intricate machine to do fucky things with matter that cost nearly $5 billion. If it isn't correct in at least fundamental respects, then how could it predict something so exactly? Similarly, Newton's Laws of Motion were never proven "wrong," but merely incomplete. They're still used for all kinds of things at the level where they accurately predict results. We got to the Moon with them.

It's actually very rare for fundamental things described as "laws" to be proven wrong, or even "theories." Where science gets it wrong is generally very specific things where there is a strong incentive to get it wrong, i.e. saying cigarettes aren't bad for you, climate change either doesn't exist or has absolutely nothing to do with pouring amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, or for that matter exaggerating climate change for similarly political reasons, "cold fusion," or similar specific application things.

The big stuff is generally very accurate and rarely overturned. There is just no Grand Unified Theory of Everything that completely explains all things. Eventually any model runs into phenomena that it can't explain adequately.

Wasn't there a photo taken of a black hole a few years ago, or did I misunderstand that breakthrough?

I believe it was its radiation signature, since active ones shit out a fuckload of gamma rays when they pull in matter.

It was an extrapolation using an artist's rendition made from about 3 pixels of telescope data. The location is posited to be where a black hole is. It was an interesting computer science experiement to create the image, but its actual import was heavily overstated in popular media. If you ever see the real data output from the telescope it's an indistinct splotch of a few white pixels on grey-black.

which, to be fair, is still really fucking cool.

Dark matter is a bit of a different story and we do indeed know less about that, but it's more than just something to "make the math work for them some of the time"; it's not about "the math" working, it about explaining observations, and thus far Dark Matter is by far the best (though unsatisfactory) explanation we have, even though we don't fully understand everything yet doesn't mean it's just complete bogus or "faith".

Dark Matter was originally postulated to explain the discrepancy of the rotation speed of stars around the galactic center. Such discrepancy can however be explained by theories other than Dark Matter, such as the deviation of gravitational force at large scales. So astronomers have to choose between various hypotheses, and at the present time Dark Matter has the most adherents.

The Standard Model predicted the Higgs Boson and its qualities nearly perfectly, even though for decades we could not actually observe one, because it required an incredibly intricate machine to do fucky things with matter that cost nearly $5 billion.

And it is quite telling that the successful Standard Model says nothing about potential Dark Matter candidates.

A even more tenuous theory, yet nowadays being treated as gospel in Astronomy, is Alan Guth's Inflation Cosmology. Roger Penrose (last year's Nobel recipient) downright called it a "fantasy".

The irony here is that the "Black Legend" of Spanish Colonialism that got Spain to abolish slavery in South America was literally written by Church activists to convince them to abolish slavery. The Catholic Church propagandized one of Europe's most powerful overseas empires into ending the slave trade.

But who needs facts when there are Papists to insult, fedoras to wear, and episodes of My Little Pony to watch?

Pretty much all of abolition was done by religious people.

16th century -> Dominicans and Jesuits. They opposed enslaving native people, and pushed for the introduction of black slaves. They later opposed all slavery.

17th century -> Quakers were the first to oppose slavery. Pennsylvania and London became abolitionist centers because of their Quaker populations.

18th century -> Evangelicals finally got it abolished. The song Amazing Grace was written by a slaver captain who became an abolitionist. It took decades for the religion itself to oppose slavery, but when it did it was explosive. The concept of "natural rights" (God owns people) was the foundation for it.

19th century -> Evangelicals had a zealous obsession with abolition. John Brown was a religious crazyman, and the British colonized Africa to end the practice. Islam experienced a religious awakening and a Madrasa movement annihilated slavery in Indonesia and Egypt.

Bad new for him... most of progressivism and leftism is also religious...

Irish leftists are some of the most despicable people in the West. Your country was one of the few Christian civilisations west of the Iron Curtain, and you traded it for what? Muslims, free abortions and globalism?

I'm not even Irish, but seeing people work with globalists bent on destroying their country just sickens me. There was a plot against Catholic Ireland for a long time, and the people who supported repealing the 8th Amendment are the same sort of people who would have joined the Black and Tans or taken the soup.

And religion recognises all the things on the right - in fact, they are God's gifts. What religion teaches is that you are all the things on the left without God. It's not a hymn from my Church, but listen to Amazing Grace sometime and you'll understand what I mean.

That feel when you're that young religious Irish lad they hate

I'm a Britbong and a pretty religious guy, and I know that feel.

By the way, we have a Catholic PM chain on the Farms I can add you to if you want.

No really Catholic myself, but I do enjoy reading into church fathers and such, so sure I'll join and thank you.

ITT: Insecure TradCaths act like being a part of the largest variety of Christianity makes them a victim and smugposts more than the fedora tipping faggots this thread was about.

And to get back on topic; yeah @Slap47 ; yeah they're really fucking guilty of only reeing at Christians because "FUCK YOU DAD". They coward out or justify Islam or any other religion 85 - 95% of the time to the point it's both hilarious and insulting. At the very least be fucking consistent with it.

My first personal cow was one of these in that regard, a friend of mine would troll him by pretending he was a muslim just to see how he took criticism instead, and he cucked down and was noticeably more polite than with people he also thought were atheists or christians.

"Based tradcaths" are basically equal to fedoras in their cringiness, smugness and stupidity.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this in this thread but, have any militant euphorics tackled Our Lady of Guadalupe?

I'm curious considering it's over 500 years old still in good condition, evidence of imprint, not paint or woven work, reflection in eyes, as well as the constellation pattern.

Though someone will try to explain it so prove it being science and not something of God or higher prescence/supernatural.

It's a sad thing to see children brainwashed by atheist science! cucks. I hope there will be a reckoning.

The amount of seethe the Spanish ones have is really something. They can't get over how loathed they were by their former subjects:

Underlying the ambitious political program of the Spanish Left is a deep contempt and hatred for much of Spanish history and tradition—a contempt that draws as much from the “Black Legend” propaganda of 16th century Dutch and English Protestants as from revolutionary leftist ideologues of the 20th century.

Imagine being so mad that you unironically end up believing in the Eternal Anglo meme, except it's everyone:

The “fake news” of the book are the age-old “tricks and hoaxes” promulgated by the enemies of Spain throughout the centuries: those who have sought to paint the country in the worst possible light. This was not done out of humanitarianism. It was done because Spain’s rivals wanted Spanish gold, political power, and colonies. Santamarta imagines them sitting together—Italian, Dutch, German, English, American—motivated by greed and hatred: William the Silent, Richelieu, Voltaire, Luther, John Foxe, William Randolph Hearst, Teddy Roosevelt, and others.

I find it funny how these smug atheists talk about their intelligence yet deny history because it goes against their narrative
