Isn't that what Ben is doing, asking? Seems to be a few engineers here on CP and enough Christians. p.s. Your nick is pretty rude, at least here in SA :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

OK, I forgot to touch on the faith aspect. Suppose I come across something I haven't seen before, which claims to do something unusual. I may take a step into it, so to speak, on the faith that it actually does what it claims to. If I find that so far, it does as it claims, that gives me more faith that, yes, it actually does do as it claims, thus giving me the faith I need to take it even farther. For a slightly less abstract example, suppose I meet someone on the street, who tells me that something very unusual is true. No, at first, I may not believe him entirely, but I might take action on what he says anyway. If I find that what he says to be true is true (or if he satisfactorily proves that his theory is based on common sense, but that's partially beside the point here), I will have the faith that I need to more readily believe the other things he says.

Absolutely. But what I am saying is that this engineer, in particular is: a) A great engineer b) a fundamentalist christian Are they not mutually exclusive? When it comes to maths and me, the wheel's going but the hamster's dead.
Engineers need to get through the night, just like everyone else.
