If you are offended by Christian thought, then this post is not for you...please move on to the next post.

From my understanding as a Christian I see it that God who controls what knowledge you have. Some knowledge is hidden from you at some time, so that you are prevented from doing things that may hurt you. I found this to be true when studying digital logic design (the parts about synchronous state machines). It really doesn't matter what the topic of study is...I am just saying that God can block you from learning something...or He can impart knowledge to you...whether you are interested in learning it or not. The best Biblical example I can give of this is King Nebuchadnezzar. He got proud...God took away Nebuchadnezzar's mind for seven years. At the end of those seven years...God gave Nebuchadnezzar his sanity back. I believe that is found in Daniel 4.

Sorry for those who don't believe...but, whether they believe it or not...God controls the knowledge you have...regardless of how curious or intellectually capable you are as a person.
