Science and Technology

Many people have questioned: Is Science and Technology created by Man to replace God? With the constant improvements and developments of Science and Technology, Man is able to master its physical environment and everything is within Man's grasp of knowledge. For example, during the Stone Age, way before the Industrial Revolution or the development of Science and Tech, Man used to believe that rain was an act of God. Rain meant that God was crying, Earthquakes meant that God was angry and the list goes on. Man could not explain the natural disasters or phenomenons taking place, thus God was the answer to everything. Not too long later, Science and Technology was introduced to the world. The water cycle was the answer to rain, which took over the explanation of "God is crying". Thus, it is clearly shown that Science and Technology has taken over God. Another example would be artificial canals. The Suez Canal is an example of a man-made canal. It is the main trade route between the European countries and Asian countries. This proves that Man has used Science and Technology to alter the physical geography for their convenience, therefore reducing the status of God and increasing the status of Science and Technology. Thus, it is an established fact that Science and Technology has indeed taken the place of God. However, the question is whether it is right to do so. Nobody has the answer to this question thus far, only time will tell.
