    There seems to be that "need" to have the biggest
    the baddest, the roughest, the toughest, etc.
    god on the block. The ways of God are so different
    from my ways. It seems that God doesn't need to
    have "Intel inside" pasted on every unit. Nor
    is God inclined to punish the "patient infringer"
    (abiogenesis). What matters to God is the heart.

    by Grace alone do we proceed,
