I am one who admires beauty in various forms....esp when it comes to love. I have difficulty in wording it, but love trying to express it even if i sound foolish. Thats me.

Poor Dovina.....I wonder what she did to you zodiac. She sounds so innocent when she says 1+1=2. You sound just like my husband who has a lecture for almost anything. Are you two related? Wonder what it would be if you really were! :-)

I have been reading his again and again and must sqay that this is good. I like the punch in the last para.

Very elegantly descriptive. Except for the punctuation, i don't think i need to comment further. I admire a poet's view for what he writes. So no changes.

You don't need logic to believe in God. ( Like for eg. - Logic states that God is love, love is blind, therefore God is blind.) Believing in God doesn't really work this way. It as simple as watching a child put his trust in his father and holding his hand to be by his side...for whatever it may be.... a joy ride, a walk, to run through a storm, or to play... it doesn't matter what. I suppose its called 'child-like faith'. The child lets his father decide the course of action , trusting him unconditionally. And no matter what happens, there's a strong bond between father and child....a bond unable to be explained specifically with words but felt intensely through love.

Yeah Paul, the 1st two stanzas are an intro to what we see in today's world. I've just personalized it instead of making it sound abstract. About the ref. - it is actually "a million", and "tread"... Sorry, my mistake. Thanks for the review.... Glad you took interest in it.

You sound ridiculous. Please listen: '1 + 1 = 2' is ONLY a way we made up to represent how if you have, say, one bowl of custard and you put it next to one other bowl of custard, you have two bowls of custard. 'One' and 'two' are ONLY words we've made up to represent different amounts of custard. 'Custard' is only a tasteless dessert the British made up to represent civilised living. THERE'S NO MAGIC TO IT. THERE'S NOTHING ETERNAL, SUBLIME, OR EXTRINSIC ABOUT IT. It's a LANGUAGE (ie, SET OF SYMBOLS) we MADE UP to represent things that happen reasonably enough WITHOUT GOD. For example, O OO OOO OOOO See? Now, for all our sakes, please get off this God is Because Math Works stupidity. Seriously, you sound like a moron. PS-Happy New Second. Guess God wasn't working too hard when he invented time, huh?

I understand there have been cases before where hoboes exposed to the rudiments of Algebra independently 'invent' all the rudiments of, um, Calculus and Table Manners. I guess I was asking how much a person (or supersupercomputer) would have to know in order to do that. More realistically, I was probably wondering if you could tell a supersupercomputer about, say, single-celled organisms and have it predict Pop Idol. On a more-or-less unrelated note, a woman named Barbara Rickard of West Sussex, England, ran a mile in 8 minutes, 14 seconds, wearing Wellington boots filled with custard.

Do you mean, '"Dress me well for Karen," he said.'?
Re: a comment on Romans 8:28 by amanda_dcosta	Dovina 69.175.32.104	29-Dec-05/7:22 PM
Because 1 + 1 = 2

Maybe a twentieth gage would show semicolon twitches. I hear one sounding wrong, even without turning the panel down.

When you say 'deduce everything else' what do you mean? Do you mean deduce all true statements? It can be easily proven that there exist functions which are uncomputable (i.e. for any such function f there is no algorithm* to compute f(x) for all x in the domain). One such function is the function H that maps any computer program P, and input data D, to True or False, depending on whether P halts on input D, or loops forever on input D: i.e. H(P, D) = True if and only if program P halts on input D. The upshot of all this is that there are true statements that are undeducible. Clearly any machine that could 'deduce everything' would have to accept these statements as given. There are infinite such statements. So there is no finite upper bound on the minimum you'd have to program a supersupercomputer to deduce everything. The interested reader is encouraged to have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem * Caveat: by 'algorithm' I mean 'Turing machine'. This covers all algorithms (and a lot more) that can be written on any computer, in any language, today. There might be an as yet undiscovered magical means of computation that could solve such problems, but if such a means exists, only Jesu would know about it, and it would be His little secret.

The last line of stanza 2? maybe change to "I'm running away scared." But as far as I'm concerned it's fine to mix the styles up a little. This isn't your best work though. I believe on God. I'm not sure why. Maybe you can give me some logical explanation for believing in God.

No, but I do believe in the Letter People.
