Ryan Gosling had a crush on my mom

When my mom was around grade 8, and ryan gosling was in grade 6 (i dont really know the exact grades but that's pretty close), they went to the same dance studio and he told her he had a crush on her there. i guess she regected him because of the age difference, but i had a relatively higher chance of being the son of Ryan Gosling than most which is pretty cool.

Why do people think morality was invented by religion?

First of all I'm not trying to offend anybody at all and I hope no one gets mad over this but I'm just saying. Anyways,

It's been proven that morality can and has existed without any religion. but people seem so convinced that it only existed or had a baseline once religions were created.

I find this thought process particularly popular in christianity and its denominations, not that it's only there. but its just objectively true that humans can have morals and empathy without religion. its been observed in rats that they would give up a treat to release another rat that looked uncomfortable. (for more convincing stuff, read "Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals" by Dr. Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce, "Peacemaking Among Primates" by Dr. Frans de Waal, the "Monkeys reject unequal pay" study by Dr. Sarah Brosnan and Dr. Frans de Waal, and more).

From a science point of view, humans evolved empathy and thinking about others to strengthen bonds between each other and work as a better group, being the "social foragers" they were.

Religion definitely built off of and strengthened these morals but simply did not invent all of them

I noticed this that a lot of people don't seem to point out

I've noticed that pretty much every time in history something the Bible claims is disproven, people start saying that that part "wasn't meant to be taken literally". it happens consistantly I feel like

Gravity existed once for blocks (strong theory, at least I hope)

so we know that most blocks in the game float without falling except for sand and gravel and stuff. but I'm pretty sure they all were prone to falling and collapsing. I've observed 4 things that show this.

1: ruined portals will sometimes generate laying down flat in the lava instead of straight up.

2: mineshafts have those wooden supports every few blocks. in real life this Is to keep the cave from collapsing and caving in, which Minecraft currently doesnt have a problem of.

3: some caves did cave in. 2 of 3 possible entrance rooms in the trial chambers have a 3x3 copper door ,like a bank vault, on the wall (the 3rd room has it on the ceiling). the rooms are called "corridor/entrance". the doors are the dedicated entrance to the trial chamber. but often on the other side is just solid rock/deepslate. they wouldn't build the entrance like that. there was a cave there that caved in because of gravity.

4: also in the trial chambers, there are platforms held up by chains. if gravity didn't exist when they were being built, they wouldn't need the chains.

all of these can be explained by gravity once existing. but idk why or when that could've stopped and why some blocks are still affected
