This was good, thanks. Have you written an essay about the Tower of Babel yet? How we once again have a common language (ones and zeros), and how advanced into the inversion of God's plan we already are? Given your background as a computer person it might be interesting to see how you'd present Tower 2.0!
Actually, I have some things to say about how the language of science is deeply confounded, and how that has made it possible for us to last as long as we have, but that one has never made it to the top of the pile.
What's going on with science involves much more than ones and zeroes, and it is difficult to write about. I see the progression from "the knowledge of good and evil" to modern science ("science" = "knowledge"), but I am unsure of "why science?". It's as if the powers of darkness need help from humans, through science.
Look the vast resources devoted to studying things that, when applied, only serve to further poison and otherwise endanger us. WHAT is going on here??? A "Babel" connection is likely, and God has frustrated but not prevented progress, but what is the objective? Partly "humans becoming like God", yes, ever since the Garden, but what else?
I can't help but think this involves more than just the evil desire of humans, and more than just a desire from the other side to see us wiped out.
Hmm, interesting. My husband is a research scientist so I know this world pretty well. I agree that plenty of opportunists inhabit the realm of "science", but I also see science as originally God-sanctioned. Go out there and discover My mysteries, and see how wonderfully I have provided for you! Has that mandate been thoroughly perverted? Yes, sadly. Like every other good thing God meant for us. To me the scariest are the computer "geniuses", hence my remarks about ones and zeros being the true language underpinning global cohesion, if you will. Science, nor anything else, can function without the ones and zeros.
What's the absolute basis of all of history? God tested our parents. They failed, sin entered, death entered. Satan observed God's dismay, so great was it that He decided the only recourse was to sacrifice Himself on behalf of the creation, particularly humanity. Only blood can cover the wrong. Knowing he doesn't have forever Satan wants to cause God as much pain as possible. Not us. Satan doesn't care about us. He cares about keeping souls from entering God's family. He will do anything and everything to prevent it. Literally anything at all. This is "all" it is, and to humanity who largely don't understand because they don't know God, it is inexplicable and totally catastrophic.
I agree with what you are saying. I just have a question in my head, that likely won't be answered in this life, as to why such a vast investment in research into biochemistry and nuclear physics, areas of research that are totally unnecessary for living a long and healthy life (quite the opposite). What's it for? We already have all kinds of ways to kill each other. What's special about these areas? I know the biochemical research empowers medical and "public health" scams, but is that all? (No answer expected.)
I sometimes qualify "science" as "industrial science". That particular form goes beyond "go out and discover" and somehow winds up as more like "see how much poison and sickness and death you can produce, in the name of 'progress' and (of course) 'profit'".
Maybe, like in Spinal Tap, the dial goes to "eleven".
I don't know what your question is, but the Word does say the curtain is coming down at some point and that it'll get so bad God will have to cut the times short so a few people will be left alive. Why shouldn't industrial science be a major means toward that end? Unless you take a more metaphorical/allegorical approach to eschatology? Which is what everyone I know does, and maybe they're right. In which case I have no idea why all this stuff is happening, because there would be no rational explanation for it then.
Yes. The question can only be taken so far before hitting a wall. I could pursue this further, into the varieties of research and the sources of funding (us, basically, or stolen from us), but the wall doesn't disappear. It's a mystery, at least for the time being. Satanic ritual performed at CERN might offer a slight clue, however.

That's my opinion, anyway.

I don't know. It's just a question. This world is so weird.
