If you can't measure "it," does "it" not exist?

No matter what anyone says just remember that it's not about how big it is, it's what you do with it that matters

just pull up your fat roll of a gut and push in the ruler a little bit farther. come on man put something into it. you will be able to measure something.

Was this an attempt at a god bashing thread?

Sort of, I'm sure, but I suspect the intent was to (ultimately) be god-affirming.

The OP conveniently ignored the difference between *theoretically* being able to measure something (that can't, at present, *practically* be measured)--and *defining* something else as incapable of measurement.

It's just another instance of "tarzanning"--grabbing hold of a word at this tree, and swinging over to that tree with it--which is a favored technique of apologists for the irrational.

Scientists can't measure dark matter but they know it exists.

You're thinking too much about it, he was clearly talking about his man-sausage

No. But now that I think about it, I can see how some would view it that way.

Whether or not something can be measured speaks more to the lack of measuring ability. There was a time when the speed of light could not be measured. Surely, that did not mean that there was not a speed associated with it.
