Learning about crossovers helped convert me from atheist to a believer in God

Let’s see if this one survives.    

I have been an atheist for 50 years.  Recently I became a believer.  One factor that helped tip the scales is the “fine tuned universe” argument - the idea that the physics constants, e.g. the mass of an electron, are so finely “selected” that if they weren’t very close to what they are, life wouldn’t exist.  This is an argument for a creator.  The best counter argument seems to be that there are an infinite number of universes and we got lucky.  

When I got into audio, and started learning about crossovers, I was ASTOUNDED at how well the pieces fit together.  Octaves are exact doubles of frequency.  3dB describes so many seemingly unrelated phenomena.  But the one that really got me was the magic of capacitors and inductors.  They share no parts, other than wires sticking out at each end (usually), one acts due to voltage, one acts due to electromagnetism, one resists AC, one resists DC.  And yet, somehow, they are mirror images of each other, using almost exactly the same equations, behaving perfectly orthogonal to each other, even to the extent of how powerfully they perform their function (3dB again).  How is this possible?  Could this have happened due to random chance?  I smell a creator.

You misunderstood me...

I said that i prefer the Nos one in one case the other in another case...

All dac are different...

but their embeddings matter for the evaluation of our impression...

if i had money i could upgrade to a R2R architecture and be more happy..

but the results i already have is so good that upgrading is less appealing because listening music i can forgot the sound...

There is not always a simple answer for all evils... 😉

Silent listening of music is now my answer to the dac problem , because in my actual system all sound right...

can it be better ? always...But i dont need the upgrade...

 

OK, so if I understand you correctly, R2R DACS provide no improvement over Sigma-Delta DACS?

I just think about a paradox:

It is when we abandon ourself  that we become ourself...

@mahgister 

Then the existence of evil dont prove there is a creator as you said  because God dont gives us free will as a permit to do anything, he gives us consciousness...ABSOLUTE consciousness with all knowledge there is ...he gives us also an ego, a separated identity who will learn how to manage absolute knowledege... We must think to create our consciousness content... The conscious content is not given without our own co- creating thinking process...

  "Given" a separate identify, our awareness of our own unitive nature is impeded. This is the inherent function of Maya, no? 

If we are not aware that we have access to Consciousness, how can we choose "freely" between acts impelled by awareness of Consciousness and acts impelled by the ego?

How responsible are we for being "given" separate identity?  

I must admit that I find such inquiry very confusing because, in terms of language, it is very difficult to speak in both dualistic and non-dualistic terms at once.
