Technology is our fastest evolver today and it is radically changing our world. In centuries past, religion dominated culture because it stabilized society and advocated norms of unity.
Has technology come to replace religion in our own time?
I will explore how technology and religion share the same root source, the unbounded fields of infinite potential, the ground of which is God.
If we cannot imagine that religion takes shape in technology, then we have eliminated the religious depth dimension of the most significant development in human becoming.
