You can see and feel the effects of the wind because it has been scientifically proven to exist. Wind is caused by the movement of air molecules (oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) which moves due to differences in high and low barometric pressure. Those molecules are gaseous matter. They move towards low pressure pockets in the atmosphere. You can measure the wind's velocity - our weathermen can tell us when wind gusts hit 50 mph. This isn't voodoo. It's science.

And pretty simple science at that.

This post of yours makes me feel very disappointed in the American education system, specifically the math & science departments. You don't have to see something to know it exists. There are other ways to prove it. However, there is no proof that God exists.

Yet another example of you missing the point.

Why does something have to be "scientifically proven" ie: thought to be true by MAN, for you to beleive it?
There are galaxies farther away from us than we can see or touch, a ton of them beyond our technologies...do they exist? By your standards, they don't. Only what can be seen or touched is true. I would hate to be limited by what a flawed man tells me to be true.

He was talking about the air not being able to be seen, but it still exists. Please understand what people are saying, because to have to explain things twice gets annoying. We're all listening to you, listen to everyone else too. You don't have to agree, just don't jump to conclusions.

ps- there are fish / creatures that live deep in the oceans that we have yet to reach, there is a whole world in our seas that we have not tapped...do they exist? There is literally millions upon millions of things that man has yet to prove, does that mean it doesn't exist? Is cancer curable? Is there an answer to birth defects? What is the meaning of life...ok I threw that one in for giggles.
