I have a tree in my front lawn, it gives good shade. It has deep roots and is very comforting. I know its invisible, but I can feel in my heart its real, I just have this feeling. My other atheist friends can feel its real too. Why do you ask for empirical evidence of my invisible tree?

Pah! My Evolutionary religion states clearly that only Shrubberies can be shady. There is a flaw in your belief-repent now,praise the Almighty Amoeba and I won't cut your invisible tree down....erm...oh, b*llocks. Doh!!!

If it is invisible (translucent) how can it provide good shade?
Also if it is invisible and has deep roots, then the roots would have to leave tunnels in the ground that no one could miss. Not to mention a huge whole right where the trunk goes down.

The name "meme" is meant to emphasize their similarity to genes. Memes are the mental equivalent of genes -- self replicating entities that multiply and spread through society, shaping the future development of that society and helping to determine its culture.
Like our genes, memes need human hosts in order to propagate. Also like genes, some memes can outlive many generations of individual biological members of that society. A meme may also mutate to produce a new variant. This happens with scientific theories and with religions, to give just two examples.
For many thousands of years, memes were transmitted from person to person in a direct fashion, from mouth to ear. Then, with the invention of writing and postal services, memes started to be transmitted from person to person over greater distances, with paper as the carrier. With the invention of the printing press, a single meme could spread across an entire country in a matter or days. Today, a new meme can grow and spread around the globe in a matter of seconds, travelling at the speed of radio waves through the air and light waves along fibre optic cables.
Of course, most memes do not live very long. But some do, and they are the ones that shape and form our culture. Like the advertising jingle that enters our heads and stubbornly refuses to go away all day long, a meme, once established, can be hard to get rid of.

Because I don't know you and frankly, I do not trust you and have no reason to believe in your invisible tree just because you say so. If you "feel" the tree then good for you. I don't feel sh**.

before each little thing, i do not comprehend what "previous the seen observable universe" skill. i became no longer conscious than something will be previous the totality of existence. inspite of case you attempt to make is already incoherent. Secondly, a tree on yet another planet falls interior of known organic guidelines. inspite of if it did not, stated tree favor no longer be a god, so the hypothetical believer continues to be an atheist. You fail. ----- Addendum: >> "you won't be able to make up your own definition of atheist, this is no longer a collection this is an adjective." << From a similar dictionary you pronounced: "atheist - noun: individual who believes that there is not any deity" >> "@Zombie, you fail" << Tit for tat, yet my good judgment prevails, dearest seeker. >> "I reproduction and pasted from Webster so in case you don't love it take it up with them." << i do not ought to take it up with them. you chosen that definition to make your case, so this is as a lot as you to describe what "previous the seen observable universe" skill. you at the instantaneous are not getting to in straight forward words assume this is coherent. properly, i guess you could, yet i am going to easily call you on it ... as I actually have. >> "And it would not might want to be a tree i'd have stated animal or spirit" << it would not remember what that is, so long because it isn't a god. Atheist. A-theist. Say it with me: atheist. A(no)theist(god). Get it? >> "so once agian you failed on the definition of the be conscious hypothetical" << incorrect. You fail to carry close the needed huge distinction between "no supernatural" and "no god." that is you who has failed, padawan. >> "this is what the verbal replace and question is all about." << there is not any verbal replace. there's a declare, made by you, which fails completely by using the indisputable fact that is inconsistent with the ontology of the problem. The hypothetical believer continues to be an atheist, and also you nevertheless be a really genuine psychological failure. Congratulations. And thanks for the thumbs-down. I win.

'tis not whether or not the tree exists, for it is the comforting shade it provides that is important. If you have grown this tree Jim, then I would bet the shade is big enough to comfort all who seek it! Blessed Be...in the shade!

Yes. I believe your invisible tree exists. I do not need proof or any evidence because I am not that smart. I just believe what everyone else tells me. ;)

It sounds like an "Otz Chioth"... a "tree of life"... but if it is not clearly elucidated in "their book" ... and I'm referring to the latter editions translated into "their language" ...that can be read to them and interpreted by "their pharisees(priests)"...then "your tree" simply does not have the infallible fingerprint of God upon it... therefore cannot be accepted as in any way empirical ...

Hey darwin, i love the invisible tree of evolution.
can't see it, can't prove it, but it is there . why do people ask for evidence, when there is none?
i have a pile of oily rags in the corner of my garage, i am waiting for a dog to evolve, as i can not afford to buy one.

I believe in your tree. I just read about it. Therefore it must exist. Damn the science and logic, the tree is real.
