the biggest problem with a search engine God is all you get is advertizement that say "give me your money. Now!" come to think of it that seems to be like a lot of churches today..

Faith is in the measure of balance, I haven't considered it of much value until I saw the apple fall many times and by the time it hit the ground it hadn't left the branch and I came to understand why I wouldn't accept the certainty of things. One door opened and it wasn't one of the thousands of thoughts racing around the labyrinth. For me, now that I know just a tiny bit I am more willing to appreciate the principles behind the classic apple and TANSTAAFL (which holds few surprises), a little less bound to patient resignation. The form of my understanding may be nonsense but for what it's worth neither position has been precluded. A subjective position for your consideration.

well it did in its humanize form that is another question.. you will find out your test results later RP

discovered the law of gravity.Similarly , Allan , man's
will follows laws of Nature all the time but these very
laws have not yet been discovered by man.

I do find the computer idea interesting.. and
an interesting way of putting it.. as the
economy .. as for over size institutions..
well maybe the Canadians have it right by over
regulating them.. there economy has not gone
through the bubble and bursts that all of our
economies have.. the US economy started the
down hill slid with Reaganomics and
deregulating the banks and Markets.. all that
did was open the doors for the greedy and
slimy souls to practice their ideas at the
expense of the population.. the proper name
for politicians, bankers and cawyers in the US
is "cockroach"
As for new or unique ideas I did see one the
other day.. (completely off topic -- yet watch
the video)

It is true this idea can't resist your
initial critique Allan. The metaphor is a
bit shaky and we have seen it before as
Laplace's Demon and its situation knowing
everything that has happened and
everything that will. The author's points
can be found at the link. They aren't
about god as any of us might consider
he/she/it.
Students make Francis' point all the time
- but they actually don't know 'how to
google' in any depth. Sites like Wiki and
the BBC have given them information that
satisfies teachers in schools, but they
rarely find all the information and very
little of the critique. The big mess
search engines throw up is pretty banal.
I'd no doubt produce more hits on a video
of Maxwell eating my dentures than a
listing of the details of my petrol from
air machine. I occasionally set questions
like 'find the earth's major energy source
and critically evaluate the efficiency of
the main processes that harness it' - this
is a question about the sun and such as
photosynthesis, but most seem not to know
this post-Google.
My own interest in this IT/IS question
concerns "finance". Finance has long had
a god-like quality in my thinking - if we
think of the kind of gods that would turn
any moral creature to Prometheus. Most of
us in here know the plot - we should build
safe homes for 2 billion people from
Tornado Alley, British flood plains and on
to Monsoon areas and so on. We should
take local-global catastrophe seriously
and even such matters as leaving the
planet or biological form longer term.
Instead we have finance acting as an
unquestioned god on how we organise
ourselves. There's a free PDF on the
finance curse here
-http://treasureislands.org/the-finance-curse-my-new-book/
Information systems are potentially a way
to free us from the finance gods without
replacing them by State capitalism.
Currently they give us more reason to
worry about yet more intrusion into our
lives by the powerful. We have problems
conceptualising in areas like this because
terms like "transparency" are both good
and bad.

This is an interesting way of thinking
