He continues his challenge, arguing that there is no reason to believe it is God who gives authority to moral laws – it could be given by the consent of humanity, for example.

For example, given two image elements A and B, the most common compositing operation is to combine the images such that A appears in the foreground and B appears in the background.

In the given example the array can contain 10 elements of any value available to the type.

* An example of a non-unitary associative algebra is given by the set of all functions f: R → R whose limit as x nears infinity is zero.

St. Bonaventure ’ s “ Retracing the Arts to Theology ”, a primary example of this method, discusses the skills of the artisan as gifts given by God for the purpose of disclosing God to mankind, which purpose is achieved through four lights: the light of skill in mechanical arts which discloses the world of artifacts ; which light is guided by the light of sense perception which discloses the world of natural forms ; which light, consequently, is guided by the light of philosophy which discloses the world of intellectual truth ; finally, this light is guided by the light of divine wisdom which discloses the world of saving truth.

Whilst heavier armour provides better protection, it makes vehicles less mobile ( for a given engine power ), limits its air-transportability, increases cost, uses more fuel and may limit the places it can go-for example, many bridges may be unable to support the weight of a main battle tank.

For example, if for a given problem size a parallelized implementation of an algorithm can run 12 % of the algorithm's operations arbitrarily quickly ( while the remaining 88 % of the operations are not parallelizable ), Amdahl's law states that the maximum speedup of the parallelized version is times as fast as the non-parallelized implementation.

For example, some see the World Bank and the IMF as corrupt bureaucracies which have given repeated loans to dictators who never do any reforms.
