Believe me, I have already intuited that you believe in the "religion of
evolution", as opposed to a religion believing in a God.

It is obvious, at this point, one has only two religions to believe in:

1) A thinking mind created "all."

2) ALL spontaneously came into being.

The first requires a belief in God.

The second requires a belief that living organisms (or, biological
"machines") can spontaneously come into being, and that the elements in
the universe can spontaneously come into being from a space composed of
"absolute nothing."

On close examination, an intelligent would most likely deny the
possibility of either.

However, it is obvious one is correct ...

Why any one individual would choose one over the other, with no proof
being available, is simply a function of human nature ... then, for
someone having chosen one over the other, to ridicule the other
possibility--well, that is simply insanity!

Occams' Razor is clear on which would be chosen ... the aliens, at least
for the short term explanation ...

Well, I have never met "a new energy source" either. Does this mean I
can now dismiss all possibilities and go out into the world preaching
that all sources of energy have now been discovered and we are doomed?

Funny, where I come from, logic just doesn't work like that ...

Just because God knows how everything will turn out, doesn't mean our
choises are of no value.

I don't know where you are getting your ideas, but since the subject is
changed again:

I would like to see a new energy source. I have some doubt I will find it
on YouTube, but those chances are greater than if I built it out of my junk
box. Such things will likely come at great expense. My solar experiments
only account for a small percentage of my electric usage but I have managed
to cut my gas bill drastically. Some could argue it is the oldest energy
source out there. Everyday we are bombarded by a whole lot of energy that
just heats up the roof. I have cut my bill by simply putting to use the
energy that would have only heated up my roof or my South side.

The point is we should all be thinking about such things rather than
expecting some government "fall guy" to fix it for us by digging deeper into
our pockets for "party money". What we have when we foist our
responsibilities on the government, are big screwups by people who are too
removed from the problem to have a hope to fix anything by throwing money on
scam artists. The Castro government comes to mind as a perfect example.
Just throw money at the government and it becomes fat, and lazy and a burden
to those who see a need and fulfill it. The job of a President should be to
inspire rather than shoulder incessant ridicule that cripples our nation's
credibility in the world. Those who ridicule should stop and provide some
useful input or shoulder responsibility themselves rather than hoping for
disaster to vindicate their bad attitude.

If we ever do find a race of aliens, I would hope we would hear from them by
radio first. There is no reason to think there couldn't be, but if they
were close enough for it to matter, we should have heard from them by now.

Unless they consider on-off keying (or radio in general) to be obsolete,
beneath them, and hate everyone who uses it because they won't waste their
time learning it, then look out.

Since our subject is still baluns, I have used Fiberglass tape on Torroids
and solenoid windings because they heat up. Other things deteriorate. I
use that because I have some. I couldn't tell anyone what would be best in
the long run for UV. It is a big problem. Heat means loss. I prefer to do
away with the need for baluns and other elements that don't contribute to
radiating the energy.

Go to a larger core, stack large cores to lower power density per cubic
centimeter of core material--adjust core material to compensate for
increased inductance, etc.

Proper functioning of the balun hinges on proper design/material, of
course ...

Now is one is designing an electric heater, ni-chrome wire might be
implemented in the design--perhaps a "ceramic tape", etc. ... 8-)

Fantasy isn't harmfull unless we base conclusions on it.

Wrong. You are correct though in characterizing evolution as a religion.

Evolution theory functions as centerpiece of some wonder, but there are
glaring problems: No evidence of missing links in the face of Tons of
fossil evidence of a great variety of unique species (notwithstanding
sub-species that are obviously related). Evidence suggest that species
would have had to spontaneously come into being en masse from extreme
outbreaks of very specific mutation. Creation would make more sense than
that because mutation overwhelmingly is a deterioration resulting in a loss
of viability. Additionally, Life even in what we would consider simple
one-celled organisms are in fact highly organized and cooperative
communities of seemingly intelligently flexible or single purpose
mechanisms. None of which would survive without the viability of the whole
organism. So which came first, the chicken or the egg? Neither could have
been viable or accidentally come into being on their own. Then where are
the fossils of the supposed transitional species. We know there is some
flexibility within the species for adaptation, but new species are a great
leap over a nonexistent bridge. The evolution theory was actually based only
on observations and wrong conclusions and even Darwin thought to abandon it.
It might not have survived to this day if it were not commandeered for it's
political value to justify revolution, genocide and a notion that in order
for an idea to be viable, all others must be destroyed. The notion that
apes transitioned into humans is more farfetched than if we were evolved
from ferns or fruit flies, if we were to compare the DNA structures. Today
we have youth wearing "natural selection" T-shirts going on shooting sprees
and random gang killings for tatoos so don't tell me about evolution.

It is obvious, at this point, one has only two religions to believe in:

1) A thinking mind created "all."

2) ALL spontaneously came into being.

The first requires a belief in God.

The second requires a belief that living organisms (or, biological

the universe can spontaneously come into being from a space composed of
"absolute nothing."

OK, essentially GOD or No GOD.

On close examination, an intelligent would most likely deny the
possibility of either.

However, it is obvious one is correct ...

It is obvious that life operates with great intelligence despite our
conscous will, so we have that much proof of intelligence although not much
of it comes to our awareness with that much regularity.

Why any one individual would choose one over the other, with no proof
being available, is simply a function of human nature ... then, for
someone having chosen one over the other, to ridicule the other
possibility--well, that is simply insanity!

Occams' Razor is clear on which would be chosen ... the aliens, at least
for the short term explanation ...

So Aliens created the universe? Occam's Razor is only an expedient. It
only works for simplicity's sake and calls us to make assumptions where our
understanding fails. The scientific mind would ponder and record the
evidence allowing for lack of understanding rather than summarily executing
God, or constructing explanations simply to deny God. All too often I see
experiments that are discredited because the results cannot be
satisfactorily explained by the answer sought. A belief in God should not
be such a problem for those who don't believe unless their wicked nature
makes it so.

Couldn't the same thing be said about God?

Then couldn't the same be said of all recorded history
where the witnesses can no longer be cross-examined, ruined, executed?

I more subscribe to the theory that witnesses who died defending their own
observation, are more compelling than those who would have written for any
other reason. Also that witnesses may not have fully understood all they
heard or saw, but reported because it was noteworthy. This also lends to
credibility, because those with a hidden agenda usually restrain themselves
from presenting testimony that doesn't contribute to their argument.

There is more evidence to support much of what is recorded in the Bible,
than required to convict someone of Murder. I would suggest a book by Lee
Strobel, "The Case for Christ" as a method to ordering and initiating their
own logical investigation. In the end you will have to be open to the Holy
Spirit before anything can come of it. Salvation comes by invitation only.
My own conclusions came when I realized the teachings of Christ were the
only hope of saving the human race from it's own self-destruction. Further,
that it could succeed against the odds.

This would be profound, if it weren't coming from an "anonymous"
source replying in other side threads to an "anonymous" source.

Two such "anonymous" sources in a series of dialog is very much less
than compelling and lacks all reason.

I simply prefer not to attract tons of V-agra spam. These newsgroups are
seriously mined and my actual e-mail address associated with this login is
set to dump all mail because of that.

The truth speaks for itself. You can come up with any excuse to deny it.

BTW Gustav is picking up strength

Hi Richard,
Both sources need the tinfoil changed on their respective
hats. They also need to find a newsgroup where they can discuss popular
theology without danger of being withered by ridicule from the other
participants.

I have transmited in the clear here for the past 13 years.

Since May, I have received all of 2 spams - from the son of Charles
Taylor in Africa. The amount of spam that predated that is of like
proportion.

In those same 13 years I've often heard the same excuse you are using.

Anyone who is willing to quote the Bible, but refusing to testify is
obviously of little faith - a Xerox can do as much and "anonymous"
sources lean on that copy button freely without conviction.
