With all the advancement in computer technology, medicine and all it subparts, where do you think we have to stop ?
Would god want to limit us in our curiosity ?
Does he want us to supersede himself just like a father would want his son to supersede himself ?
When I look at recent advancement in all these areas and after hearing some lectures about the rising longevity of a human life, I think its almost quite safe to say that everyone born in 1985 or later won't die due to high age anymore.

How do you think about this, how do feel about this ?

You do realise you're posting on an internet forum (essentially a social netword, like the kind you're condemning), right?

We've always thought we were perfectly comfortable and at the peak of Humanity then a few hundred years later we've made the world a better, more unimaginable place. Ask your grandparent, if you have any, what they thought of the advanced science of their time, it should be fun to hear.

I was born in 1925. It seems to me technology has resulted in both good and bad. When God principles are kept in mind, it is good.

God says we should take care of family, and now the family is mostly gone. Technology was used to help that, but it also helps establish care establishments when help for old is needed. There are health helps that are such blessings.

Like it says in the bible that we will have in the last days, we have access to great stores of knowledge. Many people say it is so great that God knowledge is old fashioned. They look to archeology to see if God is correct in what God says, yet the right use of archeology has opened up understanding of God’s word through understanding of ancient cultures. Few people take advantage of the good part.

Technology in food has ruined our health almost as fast as doctors have learned to help us cope with illness. I am just doing research on dead food and how to manage our grocery stores so I won’t have such eczema. Gathering for food has always been a basic in family life, cooking was a part of that. People have let technology wipe out the need to learn cooking, but it is technology that allows the huge population of the earth to eat. Old ways would never have supported us.

The huge change I see in my long lifetime is the change in people. In the workplace, the intimate working together for a goal is gone for corporate thinking. In gatherings of people they have lost respect for each other because they are all strangers. You see it especially in the children who are allowed to ignore “use your inside voice”. I miss the stars at night. I miss the quiet. I miss the family sitting around the huge table, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters and brothers, all laughing with the huge old wood kitchen range in the background with women around it in aprons cooking. Sure, Uncle Hartwick was sort of mean and he and Grandpa didn’t get along always. Aunt Bertha thought she was better than any of us, but somehow the love and fun was what came out on top.

With God in charge, every advance can be a good thing. Without God, each advance is bad.

I think we shouldn't put limits on what God can do. If God wanted us to stop advancing, He would do something. I do believe we should try to follow the example of living which Christ taught. If we follow the two greatest commandments, I don't think we can get too far off the path. Integrating the Word into our modern day lives can be difficult, but it is not impossible. What was impossible for us to do was what Christ did for us. He paid the price for our sins.

Technology can never surpass God. Our greatest technologies are only a poor imitation of what God has already perfected.

Will He put it to a stop? you bet! He will put everything about the world we live in to a stop. I for one can't wait.

Humans and our technology are to God what squirrels with a toothpick are to the greatest construction worker who ever lived. We may think we have accomplished something, but we haven't accomplished anything. Not in comparison to what God can do.

how do I feel about people not dying of old age? I for one believe that Jesus is coming back. I believe He will be here in my lifetime. So I already don't think anyone born after 1985 will die of old age.
