I screwed up on the bit about the Bible. I am a Christian, and I am very interested in the field of apologetics as a means to gain better understanding of exactly what the Bible is saying and to answer challenges posed by atheists. The way I worded my post was not well thought through seemed to say that I think the Bible itself is exaggerated, when it is most definitely not. Sometimes there is some hyperbole in the language used to make a point, but it is fairly obvious when the hyperbole is being used and what point it is trying to make, and what I meant to say was that sometimes when people were trying to describe something really big, they would just pick a really big number that seemed to capture the scale of what they saw (like a discrepancy between two accounts of an old-testament king where one says he had 1000 chariots, and another which said there were 10,000 chariots. We are simply expected to gather that there was a very large number of chariots.) I did not think my post through very much when I was writing it, and I screwed up. I do, as a Christian, believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and it is absolute. I don't want to convey something contrary to the truth, which is that I do believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is useful for teaching the best way to live and for spreading the Good News of Jesus. Sorry if I confused anyone.
Note: My point is not to start a Christianity/Atheist debate on this thread or on this forum. I imagine there are some Atheists reading this thread and also possibly some Muslims, Buddhists, etc. I recognize the fact that this is not the place for such discussion, and I will probably get kicked from the forum if such a debate erupts.
But back on the subject of the E-Cube, without numbers or at least some satisfactory technical explanation of why there aren't any measurements or numbers or figures, it really does appear to be hyperbole. Yes, exaggeration. "Too deep and too powerful to measure" - we can measure down to 10 Hz and if the sub is flat below that then Epiphany should at least say so. Also, there are SPL-measuring setups used for car audio that can measure levels over 170 dB. I simply do not buy the claim that we are dealing with immeasurable quantities in terms of low frequency extension and maximum SPL. Epiphany probably means well, but they need to recognize that they need to provide some actual data about the performance of their subwoofer, especially in this day and age where claims aren't enough when we could be getting real, truthful numbers.
