But you know you, it does give some people meaning in their life. It makes them moral, which isn't bad. And it gives them a firm moral compass, which I've always admired.Santa Claus story can make kids behave morally. But it's not wise to prevent them from mentally growing up to be adults.
We have built and continue to build a lot of Physics on the idea of particles existing. Maybe they don't, it could all be waves and oscillations in some underlying field.Not entirely true. We describe what we have observed in terms of particle and wave mathematics, but stating that x "is" y is the domain of philosophy and pointless vanity, not science.
diversity, which is counter-evolutionary.Isn't diversity the basis of new species?
Quote from: OPtheodicies from ChatGPT...and what is ChatGPT's theodicy?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions, let alone a theodicy. A theodicy is a philosophical or theological explanation for the existence of evil or suffering in the world, often in relation to the existence of a benevolent and all-powerful deity.From ChatGPT
The concept of a theodicy is a complex one that has been debated by theologians, philosophers, and scholars for centuries, and there is no single, universally accepted answer. Different theodicies offer different explanations and perspectives, and the choice of a particular theodicy often depends on one's religious or philosophical beliefs, cultural background, and personal experiences.
the universal moral standard.

The only similarity applicable to every conscious being, regardless of their shape, form, size, and ingredients, is that they want to extend the existence of consciousness further into the future.
I am pretty sure they can synchronize clocks as one twin passes by the other.
Of course, what you brought up is correct. I just use one word, "opinion" instead of boring the readers.In the end, physics is a matter of opinion. You are free to decide what is evidence and what is not evidence.I don't think it's the end yet.
There are constraints to our opinions, either physically or socially.
Rational persons accept or reject evidence with reasons.
We can reject experimental results by declaring that they are generated by tricks or experimental errors, but it requires supporting evidence.
We can accept experimental results, but reject an interpretation of those results, also using supporting evidence.
I always thought a vacuum was a process of extracting the air from a containment . Are you saying the universe is contained or something similar ?Actually, while it was forming, the baby Earth extracted any nearby atoms out of space by its gravitational field, interacting with the protoplanetary disk
