Did you use the Internet and or CD-ROM as a replacement for traditional
books?

In my opinion and that of most.  Nothing can replace real libraries and
real books.

Bob is false teacher, a spiritual terrorist that believes that Jesus was
a god, was born, and also denies the trinity.  

He may know greek well, and ministry philosophy, but himself denying
essential doctrine will sadly lead to his death.  I pray that he will be
saved before his due time.

Deceiver John,

Can't you get anything right?

Jesus Christ is a god; not was a god.

Jesus Christ was born.

And you are right He does deny the trinity.  

Prove from the Word of God that belief in the trinity is an "essential
doctrine of salvation"

That's your second death wish this week.

Why do you lie to God?  Why do you charge God with inability to save
lil ole me who has been saved longer than you have been alive?  Why do
you lay evil at God's feet?  Do you ever think about what you say?

By the way, dummy; explain how I could be a "false teacher" and not
"saved."  You are so ignorant.

2 Peter 2:1 KJV
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there
shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction.

Are you so stupid that you can not see that the words "Lord that
bought them" refers to "false teachers?"  You are a false teacher who
was  bought by the Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore you are saved.  But
you are so filled with envy, arrogance, and deceit that you can do
nothing but teach damnable heresies.  You "claim" to be a teacher.  I
have never claimed in any post that I have ever posted that I am an
apostles, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher.

Nobody claims they do. However the days when "libraries" and "real books"
(Don't libraries have real books?) were the only source of information is
gone.
Many first year med school courses have no book requirements.
Some use standard textbooks that have been around for years.
However once past these basics the emphasis in med school today is teaching
people how to learn and that today requires resources that conventional
books aren't very good for.
The Internet offers massive amounts of information at no cost but the
scholar knows where to find what he or she needs and realizes there is a
cost associated with it.

Really? I'm not sure what you mean by "these days" but I've seen an over all
improvement in MD's, at least in the EMS interface I'm familiar with.
Docs coming out of med school today can actually take care of people because
they know both how and why. They knew the why in 1961 when I started, but
not the how.

The courses that don't require books are teaching the how part of an
education.

Bah..."real books" and journals are being replaced right and left with
digital versions, and libraries are fast becoming "media centers", where
they may have books, but most of the studying is done via laptop and
wireless connection.

Maybe books are still the only learning tool in the glacially-paced church
biz, but in science, they're good for background and basics only - areas
where the fact that they were written 3-4 years before publication doesn't
matter.

Yeah right.  Libraries exist everywhere.  No I have been to 2 colleges
and most studying is done via book.

I bet money the same rule applies to all liberal arts colleges.  Mike
the whole world does not revolve around computer trade schools. IT tech
institute is a trade school.  And yes I bet in these places students are
required to use their computers more than books.  In know this because
in the business technology program at the JC I attended this was the
case.  That was way way back in 1999 also.

Well, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.  I don't make any claim to know,
having been out of college and grad school since 1986.  My point is that
you're taking observations from two colleges and making a broad
statement about colleges in general rather than first asking what
others' observations are and then making a broad statement.  Not only
that, you specifically asked about medical schools, not liberal arts
colleges.

> Mike the whole world does not revolve around computer trade schools.

What's the relevance?  Again, you asked about medical schools and then
shifted to liberal arts colleges.  No one mentioned computer trade
schools until you just brought them up.

By the way, I graduated from Cornell in 1979 and from Yale in 1986.

YUP, and before writing became extant, oral tradition was where it was
at. Before the codification of the Bible, the naysayers said "writing

To the average joe nothing.

But to the bible college educated much!  One can buy a study bible and
get far more depth and even they are very limited!  But at least there
is depth.  Sadly the majority of christians do not read their bibles
these days and would never discover this.

John,

Obviously, you are one who does not read his Bible very much because
you know nothing about it.  At best you can cut and paste comments
from  Bible quacks about what you don't understand.

But you are not a "Christian;" only an autistic babe in Christ.  Or;
would it be more politically correct for me to say that you are a babe
with learning disabilities (evny, arrogance, pride, hatred).  Or;
should you be referred to as a spiritual cripple?  It is so hard to
keep up with the politically correct language of our time.

If you can gain specific information from multiple sources, how is it
relevant which source you used?  For example:

1. You go to your internist with various symptoms, he does a
differential diagnosis and prescribes medication.  How does it matter
whether he came to that conclusion from a book or from an electronic
source?

2. You have an operation.  How does it matter whether the surgeon first
read about that site in print or electronically?

Your assumption that surgery isn't fast-aced, with textbooks becoming out of
date well within a typical publishing cycle is false. New tools, new
studies, new methods come along all the time. 70% of what a surgery resident
learned about the technical aspects of surgery 20 years ago is now
irrelevant to surgery as it's practiced today. Internet, interactive
CD-ROMs, teleconferencing, simulation software - welcome to the 21st
century.

Define "real."  By "real" book do you mean one which has pages made of
velum (sheep and goat skin)?  Usually copied and perhaps even
illuminated by hand?

By "real" library, do you mean one like the Library of Alexandria,
which was a repository of of papyrus and linen scrolls?

Or by "real" do you mean the sort of library and books you personally
happened to grow up with (index card catalogs and all), but not the
kind of books and libraries that existed before, or the kinds that came
after?
