| Introduction | I'm a 53 year old 6 Sigma Black Belt. I've been a Christian for 37 years, and Christ dominates my life and thinking. I started from the view of scientific agnosticism, but God drew me to Him in my teens. I am more analytic and scientific than most Christians. I believe all disagreements are due to false assumptions. I've had more than my share, so I'm willing to examine my own. Most people don't even want to examine their assumptions, let alone change them. I've been on the internet, Usenet, since 1993. Before that, I used Decnet to go to Digital's sponsored newsgroups. My company, Caterpillar, was a big Digital customer. I first worked with computers in 1969 as a 13 year old in 8th grade. Our school (Ford Jr. High School, Brook Park Ohio) had a time share to an IBM 360. |
