The Heart of the Matter
"The God of creation is ... a designer of complex systems that work together for a useful purpose."
"The occupation that most clearly reflects God's creative nature is that of the software developer .... like the Creator, (we) build our creations out of pure thought."
-- Jeff Wilhite, 2005
