Do Science and Technology Have an Impact on Christian Faith?

Technology and science are inter-dependable, both collaborate for the development of the world. Everyone tries to take advantage of it. Christians included. However, we are not aware that it is negatively impacting our faith and worship without realizing it at all. The more Christian’s involve in the technology and science the more they decline God’s protection upon them. If we are for example talking about science and health, people rely more on science and technology for their healing and their procedure than relying on God’s intervention. People forgot that diseases are often related to the sin which is the cause of death. The fact that people try to seek efficient medication to heal their sickness is similar to what Noah’s family after the flood did when they were building the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) to protect themselves against the flood than to submit their life to God’s mercy. Human being’s limited knowledge tries to imitate God in all things but they can not. Science boasts in every tremendous discovery, such as choosing the month for giving birth, boy or girl, skin color, creating new DNA, doing artificial insemination, interplanting human’s heart, clowning animals, producing seedless fruits, and the most important is that they are in their process to create human being. Apparently, it seems to be good to human beings but it may reduce faith in God the Creator of universe.
