Self Contained Power Source?
McOSEN writes "Your Server Cabinet could have a 100% self sustained power source. It's called Parallel Path Technology and it's being coined as a revolution in the magnetic motor industry. From Segways to Vacuum cleaners to Server Cabinets. The article talks about the technology but doesn't exactly lay out specifics."
Pretty sure you answered your own question there...
my personal view is that there almost has to be something and that creationism and evolution aren't incompatible- what better way to create the best of everything?
I take issue with the most orthodox portion of almost all religions- anybody who has made up their mind that they must hang on every word of a particular book or doctrine and interpret things in a very narrow minded view, I have trouble understanding that. The best example I can think of is, I went to a Baptist church once and they lectured for an hour on "God is love" and how if you do not believe in God, you cannot truly love due to the wording of the phrase. Perhaps if you do not believe in a higher power of some kind, you are not the type of person who can open their hearts to another person either, but I reject the notion that you cannot love due to the wording of that phrase. Especially when you consider that the bible was not even written in english to begin with and how many translations there are, the possibility that the phrase is being over-interpreted into a narrow view seems very high.
I find that there are so many religions, and at the very core of most, there is a supreme being of some sort. Maybe we're all hoping against hope and have convinced ourselves there's something there when there's not, but I find it hard to believe that several billion individuals are wrong. I think ultimately, there must be some kind of supreme being, and that being is whatever we need it to be- jewish, christian, muslim, buddhist, whatever. I would imagine that a being powerful enough to create the universe would also be powerful enough to represent itself in the best manner necessary to communicate with a particular group.
Maybe I'm blasphemous, maybe I'm a heathen, maybe I'm an infidel- but I do believe something is there.
Either way, the question always comes up- supreme being or not, it all had to come from somewhere. Even if the question could be answered once and for all how we were created, it would not answer the question of how that event or being was created. Science and religion can chalk it all up to one big bang, a supreme being, a dozen supreme beings, or aliens on mars (perhaps supreme beings too), but there are questions that neither science nor religion can answer. At some point you have to be content with the answers you have. For some people, science is enough. For some people, God is enough. For some people, God explains science. For some people, science explains God. For others, nothing is enough and will remain searching. To be truly happy, you have to believe something- that God is the answer, that science is, or whatever you need to fill in the holes in your life.
