A High Tech God

Remember the scene in Bruce Almighty when Bruce is so perturbed by hearing the numerous voices of praying people in his head? Then he thinks of a brilliant idea, why not download those prayers into an inbox like one does with e-mail? you know, prayer-mail.
Cool idea and great movie concept, but ever wonder what God thinks about technology? Does God use it? I mean, the Bible records God communicating with men through fire from heaven, burning bushes, dreams, voices from heaven, bright stars even. Surely technology is antithetical to all this natural wonder/the supernatural.

So this happened at work today.

I created this graph for my coworker.

I sent the file to him in an e-mail. And this is what he got:

Pretty cool and weird eh? My colleague (who knows I'm Christian) thought I was trying to be funny. He's Christian too. He said "While I appreciate the crosses, I'm not so sure our clients will." I was so confused because it still looked like the first graph when he sent the file back to me. I fixed it in the end, but I do appreciate the crosses too. =)

God showed He is no technophobe. Also, and maybe more significantly, modern science, technology and advancement has not left God behind. Modern science and technology, which gives man greater control over his surroundings and a more real sense that he is "god" over his life, is not antithetical to God, the Supernatural and miracles.
