Conundrum Matrix of Technological Advances Challenging Christian Faith in the Modern World
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
With the advancement in technology, human beings are continuously finding strength and confidence in themselves and their achievements rather than in growing faith in God. This situation finds that several religious beliefs are being continuously challenged. One such technological advancement that caused worldwide scientific, religious and ethical debate was the birth of Dolly the Sheep who was born through an asexual process. The sheep clone and the accompanying technology received widespread and varied discussions within the church and from other religions. Though technology is not opposed to religion, it has raised debate on some of the abilities it has come with. The authors of this paper look into some of the significant debates on the conflict between Christian faith and technology. For example, a survey by the University of Chicago revealed that, as at 2010, 18% of Americans did not have a religious affiliation, a phenomenon that was attributed to an increase in the use of the Internet. The paper will discuss cloning, space exploration and the Internet to demonstrate how advances in technology are challenging faith. The Church has a well spelt structure and mostly her opinions get much attention over other religions. This report will therefore highly refer to Christian teachings on various elements of technology such as cloning, space exploration and the Internet as discussed herein.
