oh now he done bring God into it.

"There is nothing magic or ethereal about the Internet--it is no more ethereal than the highway system. It is not created by an act of God but upgraded and maintained by private investors,"

This is arrogant blasphemy.

the source of upgrade and maintenance is not contradictory with a different source of creation. Various religious organizations upgrade and maintain the Bible. Will this man claim the Bible was not created by God using this route of reason? All that exists is by will of the creator.

Additionally, the internet is all that is magical and ethereal in our time. Now if Cicconi denies magic and ethereality in all things, I can not fault him for claiming that the internet is not such. Nor can I fault him if he denies God's role of creation, I guess. It simply pains me to think nonbelievers would invoke such names.

I wish me had men of actual faith in these positions. Men of science AND God, rather than men who seem to sneer at both.
