Hi Clive
Perhaps I can help with this 'guide entry'.
"Rome wasn't built in a day."
If God intends something, He 'says': "Be, and it is !"

Thanks for visiting my page Warner, I appreciate the company. ?
This is a project I've got going for translating QI questions I set into guide entries.
What Hath God Wrought?*
This is a quote from The Book of Numbers (sure you're familiar with that) and it was the passage selected at random to test the efficacy of the system Samuel Morse had invented translating messages into code, for transmission and re-assembly.
It worked.
The Guide Entry takes it name from that message and is going to be about telegraphy and the influence of solar radiation in the upper atmosphere induce geo-magnetic current in wires, like the telegraph and the historic incidents when this took place.
F7180006?thread=6057501 <--- my original QI question.
QI - Quite Interesting.
*You don't think I'd be writing a Guide Entry about Gods, now do you?

I read your 'QI' thread, and like it very much. I'm fascinated by the feeling of
'going back in time' to 1859, was it?
"What Hath God Wrought?" What do you think has made USA 'great' over other nations.
I think that knowledge had something to do with it, and, to some extent, the values that people held.
What do you think might cause the 'downfall' of 'the West' ?
(Notice I say might)

Thanks Warner, we may disagree about theological issues but I've no problem being friends outside that.
I'm glad you liked the QI question, I did quiet a few last year but am struggling for inspiration so far in 2009.
You ask me some pretty searching questions, I'll need to take some time to think them over.
