Because this isn't such a serious thread, I won't be returning every comment with a response. But thank you all and I hope some who don't believe in things they don't understand may get the point.

you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

I have reached that cynical point in my politics. I generally agree with George Carlin that the real powers allow us to believe we have a choice in the process when we don't.

It seems that all the choice they give the people in the USA is whether the chief spokesperson for the country is moderately conservative or liberal. Otherwise, I don't think it makes much of a difference who is sitting in the oval office.

B. Obama has two terms and people are still locked up at Guantanamo Bay. There's still unrest in the region of earth that has more to do with oil than anything else.

Hillary is the moderately liberal voice that will face the cameras. Powerful people and corporations won't have a problem with that.

done4 (and others), if I am reading this right, I could just look around at the world we live in and recognize that despite the Bible not mentioning electricity, it is there. I could see that predictions can be tested and results could demonstrate that the theory is sound. I know many say that my problem is not understanding what the scientific definition of "theory" really means.

And if I further read this the way you all are saying, I could apply this to other things, like evolution.

Are some of you suggesting that just because I don't understand all the science, it doesn't mean that it isn't true?

Have you ever heard the smoke theory of electricity?

Smoke does all the traveling inside components and it does all the work. If we see smoke leaking out of an electric component, it ceases to work. Happens all the time. Contain the smoke and the component typically continues to work.

I've just been disfellowshipped!

apparently it was announced last night.

i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

i understand it is due to my apostate book.

So sorry to read that you might lose contact with some family members. But congratulations on being kicked out of an organization you really don't want to be associated with. And you now have more freedom to teach your young daughter properly. Power to you.

Just like Satan could have put many fossils in the ground to make us doubt God, he could have planted ideas into our minds to give alternate explanations for God's power in action. We all know that science has pushed forward some radical ideas about nuclear fusion allowing the sun to continue on for millions of years. And we all know that is total bunk, but that God created the sun not that long ago and it's fuel is from Holy Spirit.

I think it is possible that man has tapped into the residual power from creation that is left in the land to use energy in a way that seems to be electricity. Sure, lightning is real, but it doesn't power up anything except maybe a DeLorean with a flux capacitor that travels through time. When we plug a vacuum cleaner into the wall, we are tapping into God's power.

You all probably think I am just ignorant of reality, but it's really the other way around. You all are stubbornly avoiding admitting that all things come from God and that we have no need to go beyond what is written.

Maybe next, we can discuss the nonsense that is modern medicine. All we need are leeches and bathing in the Jordan River.
