I will never let go of evangelists literally pointing on a tree, saying, that it is a proof of God 
I said this is smart, because most people hear it from their 3rd grade teacher and just take it on faith without ever asking for a justification...
Someone said "well because we can go to space and stuff is proof that the atomic model must be accurate"
When you really think about it, it's kind of the same vibe...
@cjd @LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired For someone in 3rd grade asking that is smart, but an adult should have learned elementary chemistry
@cjd @LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired It does actually
If they did not exist as fixed units they would not be elements like oxygen and carbon, everything would exist as some infinite gradation of stuff
The fact we can write equations like:
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H20
And get equivalent results proves there is no infinite gradation
Also, did you not learn about how atoms were proved and their properties were discovered with brownian motion in chemistry class? Stuff like moles or gas laws in general would make 0 sense without atoms
Why is it more likely that everything is made of tiny atoms as opposed to everything being made of solid stuff ?
You can't just hand-wave and say "chemistry", as if the fact that carbon burns in oxygen somehow proves that the carbon and the oxygen are made out of tiny little pieces as opposed to, say, solid globs.
Tell me how we know that we're not living in a world where all observable laws of nature are the same, but atoms don't exist.
