No new snow. In fact, we're starting to thaw today. Gonna be a big mess.
Please notice that I didn't use "God", or "prayer", in my post. You interjected them in yours.
Science depends on observation. The "start up of the Universe" [since "creation" doesn't suit you] - by it's very nature - could only occur one time, so it doesn't lend itself to observation or experiments in duplication.
Seems like I read something the other day where some scientists argue for a static universe that "just always has been".
The only thing scientist seem to agree on is that it couldn't have been designed by a Higher Power.
Didn't think Science was in the business of proving negatives.
