Do we still need God when we have Google?

Greater Need For God


High tech is a tool and is generally value-neutral in itself, yet can be used for good or bad purposes according to will of the user or the effect of the use. It is by the divine gift of reason that humanity has the power to creatively develop such tools. It is by that same gift of reason that we have an obligation to evaluate their impact and use those tools to do good and avoid evil.

Serious moral questions need to be considered as we introduce greater automation through high tech. Just because we have the ability to do something technologically doesn’t mean we should do it. The need for God and divine guidance in the right use of technology increases as technology itself becomes more potent whereby it is capable of greater good … or greater harm.

No matter what we create, our need for God remains.
