What about the fact that your professors are teaching this stuff at
a reputed university as part of an degree in engineering? Doesn't that
count for anything? Aren't your profs any more credible than someone
teaching aromatherapy or iridology in the back of your local new
age book store?

Please tell me what you think your level of belief is compared to
your acknowledged evidence on the t-grid (http://virus.lucifer.com/tgrid.gif),
then we can see if your idea of faith is different from mine.
