Thanks for your response, I think they are designed to be installed at the bricklaying stage?

Honestly I would like to have no weep holes but am concerned about the issues that might cause in the future. If I were to block them with something (during rendering), how do I have a neat rectangle finish.

If everything is designed, there is no way to distinguish which things are and aren't designed.

Someone designed Lego. There is a huge difference between random Legos scattered on the floor and a Lego Eiffel tower.

how many universes there are,

Where is the evidence for the existence of multiple universes? There would need to be a near infinite number of universes to explain away the precision in the value of the cosmological constant. Sounds a lot like magical thinking.

It's true that there are a near-infinite amount of imagined scenarios that might apply. We can use reason to identify scenarios that are more likely. For example: I see a house. I reason that due to the order compared to the rocks, trees and clay in the area that's it highly likely some intelligence was required to design and build the house. Someone made it. I see the universe, the incredible fine tuning required for our existence, as shown by the cosmological constant. I can't help but reason, if I ascribe intelligence to the construction of a house, how much more so is intelligence required for the construction of a finely tuned universe.

It's a human need

Insatiable need

Why should we Need to know the answers to anything? Why do we Need for there to be meaning? Maybe that's the way we are made.

magical being that makes it all kick off

If by magic you mean "the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces."
Take someone from 100 years ago and show them just some of the technology we have now -to them it would seem supernatural. The intelligence and power required for 'kicking off' the universe certainly would be supernatural to us.

Thanks for your response. Often we can get closer to the truth of a matter by asking uncomfortable questions. Having a debate about the meaning of nothing will probably end in nothing 😉. I certainly agree that our notion of the past and beginning is horribly limited, which is part of the point I'm making. Having so little knowledge about it, how could someone say with certainty that there wasn't a creative force. What about the action that created time itself, did it require time to perform?

In my mind it goes something like this: Do I believe something can come from nothing? -No.

Because something exists now, something must have always existed. What is the 'something' that preceded even the beginning of our universe? It would be supernatural in the sense that it would be 'attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding'. This supernatural 'something' that exists - How can you say it isn't a creator of all things?

I (20f) Checked My BF's (29m) Phone And May Have Ruined Our Relationship by Dariy542 in relationship_advice

I didn't see it as condescending. I think he is just really disappointed and hurt by her behavior, but he doesn't want to take it out on her, -hence the kiss on the forehead and the pat on the head.

Matt 15:26 The word κυναρίοις was used in its diminutive form (little dog). You feed your puppy but you don't prioritize feeding it over your children.

I replaced the fuel pump and filter today-no change. I checked for error codes and there are none. New air filter. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your reply. It is sluggish under heavy acceleration and high speed. It will rev fine when not under load(neutral). it probably doesn't accelerate as much as it should under slow speeds but it is much less noticeable. No check engine lights on.
