Technology Taking Away Observational Opportunities

Machines do a lot of stuff for us. So much so that we sometimes do not think what they do for us. This however, takes away our opportunity to personally touch and feel a lot of stuff:

Think of washing and packing of various food products. These might include various seeds, fruits and vegetables. Now when you do that with hands, different seeds will give you different feeling. I guess, this in the past might have given people several ideas about various material types. For example, coriander seeds feel like thermocol when soaked in water. There never seems to be enough water even if the bucket you are washing them may overflow. Wheat on the other hand would feel heavy and you really need to dig into it. Most people would die without experiencing such things and would never come up with ideas that they could have come up with.

If Newton, really did discover gravity by seeing an apple fall. Today's generation never gets to get close to nature. No wonder, science gets limited to laboratory experiences.

All these little devices, that do not have screws in them are things you can split open and push them back in place like no harm was ever brought to them. You do not have to be scared of thinking that you would break them. You may break them only if you do not check for orientation on certain bigger devices that may not fit in your palm, but for the smaller ones you can ju...

Atheism Concepts Change with Geographic Location

1. The educated adopt atheism, due to blind faith in scientific declaration that end up as stupidity due to ignorance of many unconsidered parameters. They now become unanalytic brains, believing that instruments and machines measure everything. 2. The ignorant adopt atheism due his frustration with the false gods that he served. These gods could either be his own version of traditional gods or a god of his own creation. Scientific ideologies is not important to him. He is just escaping blind faith and now for him it is every human knowledge. Both lack or ignore the knowledge of the true higher power, that is the Almighty, and God of all things. Every sinner would misrepresent Jesus. The Bible talks about who God really is.
