After Break Bonanza: Why?

Given plenty of time over break to regain a horrid sense of humor, I'm going to start this off with this

God's taking his children leaving home pretty harshly apparently. Image Courtesy of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, and for the umpteenth time all rights go to Zach Weinersmith.

All jokes aside however, the common judeo-christian theological standpoint places a whole lot of responsibility directly at god's feet for the various things of this universe, explained or not. For example, why is only the tiniest imaginable sliver of the universe suitable for humans? Could've at least mentioned that during genesis or something, seems appropriate to me. Also, the whole "god moves in mysterious ways" thing doesn't really satisfy me in terms of the whys of things like disasters, or the various extremely hard to decipher things in the universe. I mean, earthquakes floods and thunder and lightning seems pretty old testament punkish to me, and at least throw us a clue on some of the inner workings of the universe man. Just food for thought i guess.
