the fact that if you take a giant blob of hydrogen and let physics do its thing for a few billion years, you eventually end up with self-assembling atomic nano-robots never ceases to fucking blow my mindpic.twitter.com/u2ygcxAPae

hydrogen is quite a bit better understood than that...

you can say that about anything, but in this case we know about its constituents to astonishing accuracy through a system of quantitative theories. it's not a phenomenology. it's not remotely like that.

the fact that I can't *prove* that something exists neglects the tremendous utility of having a useful theory, like chemistry, and nuclear synthesis,, that allows us to work with objects as if they exist. there is a narrow wedge upon which one can doubt reality, it's not helpful

maybe i'm just thrown off by what you're trying to say because you equated theories of biochemistry, nuclear synthesis with the book of genesis, which, no, it's not like that if you want to make the point that, say, physics still doesn't totally understand electron structure, ok
