just think - the amount of shear mass in a black whole, there may be an entire universe inside one, we ourselves could be inside a giant black hole. Our universe was created when our black hole formed

there is not an entire universe in them though

we have a basic understanding how how black holes come to be, and therefore what they're made of

multiverse theory is a hypothesis

no grounds for it's truth, but no way to disprove it

https://www.insidescience.org/news/every-black-hole-contains-new-universe

just a theory

Interesting thought, but the universe shows an ability to expand and contract, whereas black holes can only gain mass

Or at least, it is theorised that way, the problem with many things this big is the amount of belief and assumptions that you have to make

another bit of explanation
```Black holes form when a very massive star dies and its core collapses into a space so small that not even light can escape it. The boundary that delineates that point of no return is called the event horizon, and a sort of opaque "wrapping" that doesn't let you see the singularity itself. Importantly, as matter falls into the black hole, the event horizon grows: rapidly at first as the black hole begins to form, then more slowly as matter falls in at a lower rate.

During the first trillionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe expanded incredibly rapidly — faster than the speed of light. (Since space was technically being created, that universal speed limit didn't have much sway). Over time, that expansion slowed down. Doesn't that sound a lot like a black hole's event horizon? Is it possible that our universe is the event horizon in some other universe's black hole?```

could just be a similarity

we can't say anything for sure

all we can do is list off what something "isn't"

which is the scientific method

When it comes to the nature of this Universe, the scientific method supersedes religion

A black hole is mass though and the universe has plenty of space where thre is no mass

there is that "missing mass" thing where it's probably not empty space but mass we can't observe yet

and one of the theories why spiral galaxies don't fly apart as they should if there was just empty space

referring to dark matter?

gravitino

good ol' subatomic particle heavier/larger than neutrino I believe

The original statment about atheism being a religion is incorrect, because while there may be organised atheists that believe a particular set of things, there are also atheists that are not organised and do not believe a specific set of things

There are many different types of Christians, some are more organized while others are small churches or entirely independent.

But all are based on the same core tenets

Atheism is not

Atheism has the core tenet of refuting religion

Incorrect

then what is atheism?

It isnt about refuting religion, there may be some who make it a point to talk about atheism as an opposite to religion but as I said earlier, atheism is more about the simple premice that there is no god

So there is a core tenet.

In that respect yes I would have to agree, although it is impossilbe for there to be a way of thinking that contains no tenets

you have core tenet to not belive my spagetti monster.

When it comes down to it there are probably only a handful more universal core tenets that you could find in all of Christians. These could become pretty distinct, like the Miaphysites or the Nasrani for example.

Religion is more than a tenet or set of tenets though, it is a system of belief that sometimes includes ritual or tradition

You are right in that atheism lacks any ritual or tradition, which is its problem.

If you really want to stretch the definition of religion, just state that the scientific method and the scientific community are those aspects

But the thing is, that you can do that for anything

That is the point of the Tech Priests in 40k.

Religion is more than that though

When we use the word religion it is in reference to a supernatural being to be worshipped

I will concede that atheism isn't a religion in of itself, but atheism is often not packaged on its own.

Atheism rejects a supernatural god to be worshipped

and even the existence of one
