Technical Progress

“…Perhaps our remote ancestors had no sooner invented the slingshot than they reared back on their hind legs and proclaimed that their technical progress had now enabled them to do without religion.”

– Joy Davidman, Smoke on the Mountain, quoted in From the Library of C.S. Lewis, p. 10

And now we have particle colliders and iPhones, yippee!!! Just face it: 1000 years from now, folks will be laughing at us. That’s not to say we don’t have some pretty great stuff; it’s just to say that it’s not that great.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
What is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him? (Psalm 8:3-4)
