There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

No. "God created the universe" is not the same as "God crafted all events". It would be the case in a deterministic universe, but that begs the question.

I would say again this is assuming time outside the universe when time is a component of the universe. How can God start off the Universe and let events happen as they will if there is no concept of time outside the universe?

Is that a cat over there?

Nope. Flying spagetti monster. Still kinda cute, though, in a noodly way.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I am still working out what HGTV genius decided that baseball stadia need water features. It's so very Disney.

Disney actually copied them when they remodeled whatever they call the stadium in Anaheim now. Royals Stadium is a beautiful ballpark, and was very different from the cookie cutter stadiums that were built immediately before it.

I spent a looong looong time reading this discussion wondering why people kept invoking the Victorian poet Algernon Swinburne.

Why no, I have not the philosophic mind.

Also, my work it is to kill today.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Is that Schrodinger's cat?

Maybe. Maybe not.

(Edited because I can't make up my mind this morning.)

Royals Stadium is a beautiful ballpark

Or it would be, if not for the big fountain in the middle of the outfield. If it's actually located in the batter's blind, okay, that's a funny way to create a batter's blind. If it's not, then it's taking up room that could be cheap bleachers.

Really? I didn't hear LFN kerfuffle. I heard SGA kerfuffle that's just a rehash of eight other stale kerfuffles.

I guess it wasn't a kerfuffle. I think it was just me not knowing Certain People don't get along with Other People. But since I am Switzerland, I shall continue to be oblivious and not care very much.

I might have missed the SGA kerfuffle completely, it's also so far off my radar.

Either it is...or it isn't.

But, if God is all powerful, he should be able to do things that make my head hurt.

I think ita just summed up a couple of millenia of theology and philosophy in one sentance.
