The arrogance of man: [excerpt from an answer to a Data Communications question]: "This number is 1000 times the age of the universe. Of course, the address space is not flat............................" Why is it that scientists think they know everything? Seems to me it would wiser not to state things that can't be proved. Being a computer science student myself, I find it particularly offensive that this statement should arise in an answer to a Data Communications question. The western world has seen many great inventions particularly in the last century. As we head into the future, let us always remember that God is in control. God sent his Son to die on a wooden cross for the sake of humanity. This single sacrifice means that all men can live life to the full. The Gospel speaks of God's love reaching down to hopeless sinners. Friend, if you ave not known this love, I urge you to read the Holy Bible, which is God's word. Have you ever felt deep despair when you consider the hopelessness of life? Is university life getting you down? Do not despair. God is everywhere. He knows what's going on. Having troubles with your boyfriend or girlfriend? THe BIble tells us how we can build and maintain successful and loving relationships. Our society is saturated with sex. Sex is a beautiful thing and should be treated with respect. As examinations draw near, let us persevere with hope and remember that it doesn't matter if we pass or fail. What matters most is that we tried our best, even we don't meet our expectations. Everyone makes mistakes, so don't worry if you haven't studied enough. I know a lot of us get stressed for one reason or another. But keep it in perspective. So what if u fail? Big deal, there's more to life. I'm a hopeless sinner. I continue to struggle from day to day. Apathy can set in, so can laziness. But if I keep focussed on what I am trying to achieve, I know I will make it. If you have exams coming, I hope you achieve your personal best. Don't worry about how much other people seem to know - some people are clever at hiding their emotions. Good luck!!! -- "Graduate from the university of life and you will have more wisdom than all PhDs put together......" Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
