Are you sure you want to go here? Since many sins, even unpardonable ones,
involve the will causing the body to act, this means that God is complicit
in any and all activity that damns you to hell - since if you are right,
clearly God could mess up the transmission of truly damning messages-to-
act, giving you a chance to reflect and possibly not do evil. It seems to
me that the theological implications of involving God directly with any and
all acts of volition are really not worth whatever mechanistic points you
might get from the exercise.

Y'know, Dale, you seem to have become really, really angry lately. Perhaps
you should take some time off from the newsgroups, go walking in a nice
spring garden, smell the scents, listen to the birds (robins and cardinals
and sparrows around here right now), feel the sunlight on your face, and
just get in touch with God again. Get some persepctive. Perhaps we were a
bit harsh in lambasting your engineering expertise, and I apologize for
that, but there really is a difference between engineering and science - if
you can accept that, then what we say about science becomes less a personal
attack, and therefore less threatening. Seriously, step back a bit, let
your blood pressure recede a bit, breathe a couple of times, and as for
those who insist on throwing cheap shots, remember the words of Tevye: "An
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and pretty soon the whole world is
blind and toothless." - the truly strong do not respond in kind, but repay
evil with good.
