O Xmas Tree, O Xmas Tree…

Nicole asked a bit back for a pic of my “Xmas tree” made from Grolsch swingtop beer bottles. It’s a tiny thing (about 2′ tall), but had enough room for presents around it–mostly–when we had our early gift exchange during our Thanksgiving family time.

Sadly, I neglected to take measures to insure the flash wouldn’t override the lil solar-powered LED lights that I have in and in back of the bottles, so that lil feature doesn’t show. But hey, I’m not the photographer in the family, so this is what you get.

Easy-Peasy

The presented argument by analogy is stronger than the initial simplistic (and shaky and, frankly, silly *heh*) argument asserting “proof” that “God is evil.”

Of course, both arguments must rest on earlier arguments for the existence of God which aren’t presented here. But that’s a much longer discussion. 🙂

Note: the jury is out on whether or not Albert Einstein actually said this–different sites say yes and no, though I’ve yet to see it attributed to someone else–but I am almost 100% certain that the presentation of him having said it as a young student in argument with his teacher is pure fiction, presented as such for effect.

En Passant

A screen shot of my somewhat cluttered (I need to offload some of the icons) Win7 desktop on this machine:

Yes, the background’s a pic of some of God’s most beautiful (and useful) flowers: dandelions.
