You gave no reason and and you put a cherry on it in the form of a personal attack. You're making bullshit not reason. I'll ask again... What wars do you know of that 'Death to Christians' was the sole motivator for war? -- D from BC British Columbia

Genetic science is, if anything, trending in the directions I expected. DNA and its supporting systems is indeed a very sophisticated, nearly intelligent machine, hardly a random-mutation+selection process. Evolution guarantees that it be so. John

In article <me25r51895gmdonabssgckmpomtf0v6div(a)4ax.com>, spam(a)spam.com says... > > You should try your question here! > > alt.religion.christian-identity But it's more interesting to get a engineer/designers point of view because electronics requires reasoning and analysis. If that same reasoning and analysis is pointed toward Christianity...then I'm curious as to what happens. Does an engineer/designer admit to irrational thinking in a field where irrational thinking is generally frowned upon? Does the belief in God, Jesus or perhaps transistor fairies diminish an engineers credibility in the skill of critical thinking? Can an engineer look good if he says, 'I have faith it won't blow up.' to board members? -- D from BC British Columbia |
