Religion is not God, and God did not create religion. Religion was created by man, which is why it's far from perfect, and sometimes espouses contradictory, and often stupid things.

I was raised to be a Christian, and I do believe in God, and I do believe God created everything. However, I am also an engineer, and I've studied enough physics and chemistry to not be totally ignorant. I also know that there is a lot more that I don't know than I do know. Therefore it would be stupid of me to pretend to have all the answers, or be right on everything (or maybe even anything).

What God did, or how God did it, I have no clue. And neither does anyone else, I think. But we can, and do observe the results in the universe around us.

Here's how I see it. Neither religion (choose your flavor) nor science has all the answers. I think science is how we attempt to understand what God did and how it all works. The longer we pursue science, the more we figure out. The pursuit of that knowledge is very worthwhile, and so far, humankind is better off for having learned what we have. The biggest problem is that right now, there is a lot more that we don't know, than we do know. So we should continue working at it, and learning as we go. Hopefully we don't blow ourselves up along the way.

I really liked the analogy about us being infants in the huge library. That seems quite fitting.

In any of the aircraft I've ever worked on (which does not include anything ever made by Airbus), communication between the flight control system and the remote actuators was usually done using a differential circuit, like MIL-STD-1553B (or its commercial counterpart). By using an interface like that, external interference appears as a common mode signal and is ignored by line receivers at either end of the connection. Frankly, I think the poster who cited clear air turbulence as the cause, is probably correct.
