Technology in crisis
The development of technology has led to the decline of nature. When does it reach the limit where the conflict between nature and technology turns to the real war? What kind of technology would fit nature? Who is the wise, who will save the world?
Technology and natureGod's nature and man's technology are obviously conflicting with each other. The world of technology is like a monster that terrorises nature polluting and destroying. God created everything beautiful and good. Man created his machines unadaptable with nature.
The green movement preaches: Take into consideration the nature, so "the world will be saved". Do you believe in that salvation? The current technology could please God, if mankind would have consulted Him. Because the relationship between God and mankind has been broken, godless people with their defective knowledge have led technology to the bad direction.
The previous century was the century of technology. The changes of technical devices have been very great. The trend into which we have got is leading to a devastation. It is not easy to get out of this trend. It is just as difficult for a sinner to change his life style as to change technology friendly to nature.
The supply of energy is one of the main things that we can get machines running. If mankind would have consulted God in the decision of energy for a hundred years ago, we would now have totally different kind of technology.
Using nuclear energy proves the wrong trend of technology. We can say about an atom that, "what God has joined together, let man not separate". Nuclear weapons are suicidal vehicles of mankind, who will intend to punish itself with them before God manages to do it. He who intends to make a suicide, wants to take off from others the possibility to judge him. God will use the nuclear power on his doomsday.
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare." 2Pet.3:10 The two world wars "advanced" technology. All machines that mankind makes are marked of violence and burning. This sinful generation is not able to develop proper technology. Man himself must be changed that technology could adapt to nature.
A new nature and scienceGod has created a new man through Jesus Christ. When God's people have experienced the resurrection, they are able to develop godly technology. At first we will rest a thousand years. After that I think that God will show me the source codes from which DNA codes are compiled.
Because I am a software designer, I am interested in how DNA compiler works. It may be that I am not any more interested in programming after a thousand years. In any case now I admire God as a great encoder.
Jesus is the best scientist, for He knows everything. Therefore ask Him.
"They may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Col.2:2-3 Of course you cannot enter the secrets of God in any order. In a normal school you also must start from elements.
"I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?" John.3:12 Firstly Jesus speaks to us about what is right and wrong in our practical life.
He proves us our guilt that we would be able to understand why it is the love of God, when Jesus died for us on the cross. The elements are learned by hearing the gospel. When you have put the gospel into practice in your life, you have stepped to the way, where God's secrets will open up to you and you will find new treasures of which nobody even dreams in the universities of this world.
Information technology In nature electricity is harmonic waves. In computers it is splitting pulses. Mankind's rebellion against its Creator can be seen also in the digital technology. In nature electricity waves softly, but in computers it is edged waves. In DNA coded by God the information of one memory storage location is based on 20 different states. A computer's memory is based on only two states. God's and man's ways of thinking are different. God's "machines" are based on chemical reactions and computers on arithmetical operations.
By developing the analogical technology it could be made machines, which would be better integrated into nature. The memory in binary form is the base of the present information technology. If somebody would have invented a better way to save information in analogical form, we would now live in the world of better machines. This would be on the condition that it also would have been invented the processor which handles analogical information.
The digital technology makes magnetic disturbances. A digital processor is a state machine that goes easily to a failed state. It is needed only a little bug in the code and the control is lost. Man's body is an example of a fault tolerant processing system. Genes are designed by God to be the permanent storage places for information like ROM memory in a computer. In the same way nerve cells save information temporarily like does the RAM of computers. Both need electrical refreshment so that information could stay.
Digital behaviour has also a bad effect on the software development work. Because programming languages are bound together with the processor, it is not possible to handle with a simple way world's events, which have almost always analog behaviour. Source codes have become so complicated that even the wisest man cannot control them. Therefore the digital technology is a time bomb, which will explode when it has enough complicated behaviour and is widely used. The problem of the year 2000 in computers is just the first warning. Man is not able to take into consideration matters widely enough that he could make technology which fits nature. Bits will be always too few.
Surely the bit-technology and Jesus have something in common.
"Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes', and your 'No', 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Matth.5:37 The state of bit must be either true or false in other words one or zero in the same way as our answers to questions. Jesus is speaking here about topic, "do not swear at all". Some people have specialised in promising so that whatever will be the result, they can say that they have kept their promises. Their speech is waving between yes and no so badly that nobody finds it out. Is the matter true or not, is also the basic of science.
The proper science is based on the truth, not on any hypothesis. Therefore the evolutionism is not based on the science, because it is only a theory. It is not good to swear for your theory, but to search the truth.
People's trust in evolutionism has created a mental atmosphere, where planning is not respected. In many situations people think that well, somehow it will be developed automatically, just like it also has happened to nature. This deceitful optimism makes many people promise great technological miracles in future, though they now are perishing with their current products.
Who is a wise planner?"If only they were wise and would understand this and discern what their end will be!" Deut.32:29 To be able to plan wisely one must know the consequences of one's deeds and the end, to which it leads. If the consequences are not taken into consideration, it will happen unfortunate surprises.
"Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? Does He who implanted the ear not hear? Does He who formed the eye not see? Does He who disciplines nations not punish? Does He who teaches man lack knowledge? The LORD knows the thoughts of man; He knows that they are futile." Ps.94: 8-11 Senseless people don't understand to honour God, who has planned and created this wonderful nature. Would Microsoft give their source codes for the modification a man, who knows nothing about their coding practice? Why should God allow people to manipulate genes? No man has enough sense that he could understand the coding practice of God, which He has used in His DNA -codes. Trying to do that is not even the worst part, but doing it without asking any permission.
Mankind's impudence goes worse and worse when it rebels against God. In many ways public knowledge is manipulated to be aware about the enemy who will come from space. Human minds are prepared for the battle against God.
"They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty." Rev.16:14 People trust so much in the miracles of their technology that they will be ready to go to the battle against Almighty.
God has shown His love to you 0when He sent Jesus to atone your sins. God's wrath was once on Golgotha and the great day of His wrath will come again. Then God's wrath will not anymore be upon His only Son instead of sinners, but it will hit to sinners, who didn't care to receive Jesus as Saviour of their own sins. Through Jesus' sacrifice anybody can now get peace with God. Become wise and sign the peace treaty of Golgotha very soon, if you have not already done it!
