What's up with Horace Greely's neck beard? It could almost be considered a chest beard....

a higher power is perhaps the easiest answer to wrap your head around as answers.

but if a higher power does exist, he/she/it doesn't give two shits about what happens to planet earth, much less individuals on it.

Deism baby - it works on multiple levels
Why believe in the creation of all things? That sounds like a human construct to me. But, if there is a higher power, who created that? At some point, you have to say that something just is and, to me, it's a lot easier to accept that the universe is eternal and has always existed in some form or another than it is to believe that there is some intelligent higher power that is behind all of this but also exists in a place and form that is completely undetectable. Deism is a nice place to punt the problem of how and why but it still is a completely unsatisfying answer that tells us nothing. Obviously, the stories about a god that is currently undetectable but at a point in the not so distant past routinely interacted with people and cares a lot about our sex lives and the skin on the tip of our dicks are completely absurd. I find it very frustrating how many people will just accept these insane stories just because they have become part of our culture. Really, how does anyone believe the jesus tale? Aside from all the impossible things in the story, how does the base of the story even make sense? Why would a god that is behind this whole universe decide that the best way to "save" a tiny subset of people is to send his son (who is also himself) down to a shitty slice of the world and have him executed? And why did he do this? To redeem people from the sins of two other people who never existed. Come on, this is nuts. And yet, there are millions of very smart people who look at this and go along with it. I don't get it at all.
Doesn't science have an issue with both theories of an eternal universe and a universe created out of nothing?

I don't know that any theories suggest that the universe was created out of nothing. The big bang theory which arises out of general relativity goes back to a singularity which is not nothing (quite the opposite, it's everything). But, as atm said, all of our physics break down at that point so nobody knows what's happening at the beginning of inflation. I just read this today which suggests that there may not have been a beginning and that the universe is forever. This depends on a particle that has been theorized but not observed so it's all conjecture. But, if its' true, it solves a lot of problems.

It's supposed to get below zero here Thursday night. I don't think it's ever been this cold that I recall. The highs Thursday and Friday are forecast to be below 25 and then it's supposed to be 60 on Sunday.

They're giving -17 for Thursday night here..... probably chillier up in eCat Country.

I bought it on my birthday last year in September and my brother didn't believe me so I took a picture of it.

Normally I wouldn't that excited about a power tool.
