Omniscience

Next to God, I think google is a distant second on knowing everything. Granted, google doesn’t know the number of hairs on my head. I already tried last year at google merely said: FAQ - Number of Hairs

Q. How many hairs are there on my head? From Apply Now, Your Guide to Hair Loss. ... A. Each person's head has an average of 100000 hair follicles. ...

As you can see google simply averages out the number of each persons hair. Then makes illogical leaps assuming that I’m worried about hair loss. Google doesn’t know the exact number of my or anyone’s hair, nor does google make the proper assumption, “that I have more anxiety over my ever increasing gray hairs.” God has the corner on that info. Hopefully, later on in life, a google search of, Seth Chase will have some exciting and quirky results. But right now google isn’t “on to me” (which is even more evidence for google being less omniscient than God). There are the classic humans that google is aware of… like google knows Randy Alcorn, and Stu Weber, and has a lot to say about those guys, but mainly google just tells you were to buy their books. I asked google if he/she/search engine/demigod had any dirt on Randy or Stu, but all I got for Randy was : Giving 5

You begin to dig and which each shove full of dirt tossed aside you think of ... Randy Alcorn, The Law of Rewards. • If you want a heart for missions … give ...

Similar search results followed for many pages and Stu’s search wasn’t any edgier. Possibly there is no dirt on those guys, they both have a great history of sanctification under their belts, but they’d be the first to tell yah that they’re not perfect. Now, I have googled some people I thought I knew; and google has shown me that I didn’t know them at all. Take Rainy Takalo for example. She’s in cahoots with Rick Steves’. That’s right I said it, you heard it from me first. Rainy gives out some interesting information though. She mentions that she has a “cheap Swiss heritage” and she tells us to “avoid the Gruyere Factory tour, because it costs 5 Swiss Francs to see pictures, narrated by a cow.” If you don’t believe me, go ahead and google Rainy for yourself… but the most astonishing person you thought you knew: Ruth King. You might think Ruth is financial guru for Good Shepherd whose office is guarded diligently by two red heads. You might think Ruth has a gentle demeanor, and cool hair… but that’s not all there is to know about Ruth. Ruth is a respected author and expert on “women and rage.” She’s got a M.A. in psychology, and she’s a fantastic Blues Musician (which helps explain the cool hair). Ruth is also a CEO of Business TVChannel.com. And when she’s not busy doing all the above mentioned pursuits, She’s painting experimental abstract art. Did I mention that she’s an associate prof at Ohio State as well? Ruth, you are an amazing women. Without all those credentials, I thought you were amazing. Way to fly under the radar! And if you want a tip from Mr. Seth Chase, here it is: Look into starting a “women and rage group” at Good Shepherd and see what happens.
