Is God actually in control of all that he created?
Do catastrophic storms and droughts that cause chaos, destruction and death just happen because God didn't pay attention to details?
How's it all work?

When you have kids, are they always under your control?

So you feel our capabilities of having sex and procreating are equivalent to God creating the heaven's and earth?

All I know about the weather is if you pay enough taxes to the government, the weather will be gooder.

It's real simple. You burn some hydrocarbons for CO2 when you want it to warm up and drive an electric car when you want it to cool down. 😄

I took atmospheric science 305 in 1975. There were so many partial differential equations, it changed the way I write a "d". The professor said there were other courses in the department, where you would be graded each day on your weather prediction. Now with accuweather.com that would be easy. https://www.accuweather.com/

When you have kids, are they always under your control? I thought God was omnipotent? Lemme guess it's selective omnipotence, right?

I don't think the weather works at all. It just kind of does what the solar system and sun and moon rotation and spinning does what happens naturally on a earth with land, mountains, and seas.

It's all pretty simple at the heart of it. You have some very basic motivators: 1) The Earth rotates every 24hours, exposing one side to the sun. This causes differential heating 2) The equator gets the most insolation. The poles get the least 3) The Earth's is spinning and the atmosphere around it is spinning, but there is a constant West-to-East progression due to differences in the rate of spin. 4) The seasons are caused by tilt of the Earth in relation to its direction of revolution around the sun. One side of the planet gets tilted more to the sun at various times of the year. 5) Hot air rises and is less dense. Cold air sinks and is denser. Depending on the temperature of the air, it has a variable capacity to hold water vapor. If air cools, it will make the water vapor precipitate out. 6) It takes a lot of energy to make water freeze and thaw.
Throw all this together and what have you got? Bipity-Bopit-Boop! Weather.
Most of this can be demonstrated by a smart 7th grade science teacher with tabletop experiments. It's just that it all goes together in very complicated ways.
Armed with just a thermometer, a barometer, and a clear view of the sky, I can generally predict weather about 24 hours in advance.

Complicated, but science has pretty well figured it out.

I have worked as a meteorologist just shy of 35 years and have both a B.S. and M.S. degree in Meteorology and I still haven't figured it all out yet.😊
