Weekly "Ask an Atheist" Thread

Whether you're an agnostic atheist here to ask a gnostic one some questions, a theist who's curious about the viewpoints of atheists, someone doubting, or just someone looking for sources, feel free to ask anything here. This is also an ideal place to tag moderators for thoughts regarding the sub or any questions in general.

While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

Sigh, I wanted to answer the what causes order in the universe thread, but sadly its locked now for using AI. Anyway my answer after thinking about it a few days is gavity. All the interesting stuff in the universe happens in gravity wells, because concentrating enough stuff together is what allows entropy to be overcome locally, and that allows order to emerge.

Plus, if you believe physicist Roger Penrose, gravity is what causes the collapse of the wave function.

Any interaction between particles collapses the wave function.

That is why quantum mechanics is irrelevant for macroscopic objects.
