What do you call attacking electronic designers for their personal belief in God? I don't know of any wars where the Death to Christians was the sole motivator, but I haven't really looked into it. But there have been a lot of killing where death to Christians was the sole motivator. But to explain something about faith. For example, if you go to a doctor that you know and trust, and he tells you that you have cancer, you may not feel it or have any symptoms, but if you believe your doctor is trustworthy, then you may believe him that you have cancer and respond accordingly. So, you are believing what the doctor told you even though you don't have any evidence other than the doctors word. If the doctor is correct you soon will have the symptoms. God is the same way, if you trust him you will believe him and your response gets results. If a stranger tells you something strange you likely won't believe them, however if you hear the same thing from a trusted friend you are more likely to believe it. BTW, I'm interested in SMPS's too, I'm interested in motor drives and I have a battery charger design I've been wanting to do for some 10+ years. Electronic design for me is a hobby because I find it more interesting and challenging than my occupation but it's hard to spend much time with the hobbies when I can make 1.5 X pay overtime. For the battery charger I need to be able to charge from 1.2V up to ~40V from a single 12V DC source and accurately measure and control the voltage and current from a microcontroller. Sorry for the personal attack but like I told mom, you started it! :-) RogerN
From: D from BC on 31 Mar 2010 21:55 No firmament(biblize) does not seem the same as space. 'The Firmament is the usual English translation of the Hebrew "raqiya`" (pronounced /raki'ja/ in English) meaning an extended solid surface or dome, considered to be a hemisphere above the ground[1] in many Near Eastern cosmologies.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament You'll see this word used in Genesis. (Where you will learn zero about physics.) It really looks God didn't tell those Bronze age bible monkeys about astronomy. -- D from BC British Columbia

But if you're interested why not look up why other Atheists have became believers, you may find that they once believed almost exactly as you and then find out what caused a change in what they believed. Also, I found out today that there are some Pastors of churches that are Atheists. Over the years I've heard from a professor that taught evolution in a college and was an Atheist, now he believes in God and sees problems with the theory of evolution. RogerN

Might have been as useful to them as a book on Windows for Workgroups 3.11. RogerN |
