"I'm a Christian Deist. In my view, the current debate between intelligent design and evolution is out of date. The supposed conflict between science and religion isn't an issue with me.

Gaus is a distant relation of Karl Friedrich Gauss, who helped develop the telegraph and who is regarded as the third-greatest mathematician in history.       Click here to view a web article about Karl Friedrich Gauss

(left) David Guss's great-grandfather, Charles Friedrich Gaus, lived in Anderson, Indiana, and played a key role in constructing the first wire-nail machine in the United States. That was about 1900. The wire nail is the kind of nail now in common use.       Though a modest structure--built around 1900--the Charles F. Gauss home still stands in donwtown Indianapolis. In 2008 the building was owned and lived in by the president of the Indiana Historical Society.
