I though it only needed an OR gate and an AND gate, since it didn't specify for eXclusively OR. But don't worry about it, I could very well be wrong. Also I'm sure hotcocoa is right, a context diagram shows the system and external entities. Basically it is an incredibly simplified dataflow...

You said it.

I've also completed Gold award, it is very worthwhile! Camps were the best! Most memorable moment was going to Pink Lakes for a week, trekking around there. It also encouraged me to take up the drums, and help out at the local library (not as lame as it sounds). I'll admit that I used my...

Here we go into the reliability of the Bible, and the accuracy of Jesus' life. I'll keep this brief, since this is just going off topic and I'm spending too much time here, also nobody will be convinced of anything different to their own convictions. I'm assuming you either mean the gospels...

I won't provide a proper answer then, just my opinion. Which [loving] God? IMO God is love. If there is a loving God then simply decide to love. Love love! IMO as a logical choice, one which promotes so called postive values and demotes negative values. This is entirely debatable as to such...

LOL fair enough! Certainly that does make alot of sense. Such an illusionary unconditional love is self-sustaining. In that way, the desire is formed from subjective experiences, which is biased from personal desire. I won't deny that, even though it appears as a justified search, reaching the...

I should be studying right now, but KFunk you seem to be willing to explore the foundations of my belief and I respect that, so I'll entertain this discussion for awhile longer. As I've brought my Christian belief into this, I've noticed how others (non-Christian) are more willing to argue and...

My knowledge claim was not an application of that rule. Mine was that I know God through intuition. Not that through intuition it becomes real. It is real or not regardless. The act of thought essentially makes existence evident. That is an application of believing existence of the self to be...

I won't accept infinite resignation, which is why faith is such a blessing.

I've already stated that belief in God is illogical, and I adhere to logic because to do otherwise is to be illogical myself. That is a logical contradiction. Through intuitive belief I claim to know God. You could claim that I am confused, but then you're only confused about your interpretation...

In the case of a man dreaming within a dream, waking up to another dream, there is nothing to base the assumption on that anything is not a dream. So I agree that all of reality cannot be proven to be a delusion, but there is nothing to base that assumption of reality not being a delusion except...

I don't know about making such a knowledge claim being anything but absurd, but for me I know that God exists as well as I know I exist. Exactly. So if our God is a delusion, He's still real for us. Maybe I'm being irrational when I claim that love is more real than anything else. Of course...

IMO that was an easy exam. Multi-choice always seems ambiguous, but wasn't too hard. Short questions were great (included heaps of examples in the last one), and I also picked the life cycle analysis question for section III. Ethics and environmental decisions are basically common knowledge.

Poetry was straighforward, so was Institution / Individual. Asides from the first section on image, everything was fine. Overall don't think I went well though, I'm much too slow at writing to cover everything in enough detail.

Well if you want to classify me into a group then Kierkegaard would probably be it, although I also hold to aspects from both Descartes and Kant, and naturally my view will consistently be open to criticism. Still I'm fairly tired of this, and entertaining as it may be I do need to spend more...
