Bonaventura Heinz

Bonaventura Heinz was born in Baden, present day Germany, and immigrated to the United States in 1845.[3] He settled in St. Louis, Missouri before enlisting in the United States Army to fight in the war with Mexico. He returned to St. Louis where he married Margueretta Trenkenshuh. They eventually moved to Davenport, where they raised four children. He became the wharf manager and was connected to river transportation. He also took an active role in public affairs in Davenport. He died in 1899 at the age of 72.

gollark: It might actually be worse in that case, because at least for the universe thing you can just lean on the anthropic principle - if things *had* gone differently such that we did not exist, we would not be here to complain about it.
gollark: I am saying that gods are also complicated so this doesn't answer anything.
gollark: For purposes only, you understand.
gollark: There are lots of *imaginable* and *claimed* gods, so I'm saying "gods".
gollark: So basically, the "god must exist because the universe is complex" thing ignores the fact that it... isn't really... and that gods would be pretty complex too, and does not answer any questions usefully because it just pushes off the question of why things exist to why *god* exists.
