[asa] Morse

"I recently finished reading David Bodanis' _Electric Universe_. Bodanis
gives some biographical information about how Christian faith influenced
some of the early electricity scientists/inventors in the 19th century.

But one of the disturbing accounts he gives is about Samuel F. B. Morse,
the talented painter who patented the telegraph and co-invented the Morse
code. Several strikes are made against Morse:"

Readers interested in this may wish to read the recent bio of Morse. I wrote
a review of it for PERSPECTIVES; a copy
of it is at:
