God

God is a metaphor.

What is not true is that god is a large, elderly, English-speaking man with long white hair and a long white beard sitting in the clouds pulling invisible strings like some omniscient, omnipotent puppeteer.

God is one of those concepts that is, by nature, unprovable and undeniable.

And you can not just come up with some question to which we don't know the answer and say that since we don't know, then god must exist. The lack of an answer to a question does not prove anything other than the fact that we don't know the answer. Even if it is impossible to answer a question, that does not prove anything other than the impossibility of answering that question.

iPhone bugs

Well, it's been a while.

Obama is in office and doing great!

My time is spent on other things, though.

Safari on iPhone still has copious bugs.

Inserting elements from prototype does not work properly. The first thing you insert stays at the top, even if you try to insert other things at the top.

Button formatting does not obey the margin properties, and the width does not include the left margin.

Plus, why does it insist on refreshing pages?

Sorry, just had to vent.
