  • I would argue that the image does contain two triangles. The artist clearly had two triangles in mind and I perceive two triangles. It is created with some negative space and some ‘gestalt psychology’, but you cannot say that the artist did not create the triangles. Of course, my screen does not contain the lines that form the triangle, but is that the essence of the form? If you see a part of an image of a face, do you say that you see just some lines, or that you see a face?

    So for me it is a weak argument against the existence of God. Maybe even counterwise. If our metaphysical puzzle reveals a perfect outline of a God in the middle, I think it’s a good indication of his existence. Probably, at some point in history, it did. But for me, with all the answers we have today, it does not anymore.
