technology (something real) can't replace god (something that doesn't exist), captain obvious!

Gravity powerful? So powerful the tiny magnetic field of a fridge magnet can overpower the gravitational field of an entire planet 😛

On a more serious note: of course technology can't replace God. Technology is real, God is a belief (or rather a delusion).

I'd think the church had more important things to do than this. For starters, punishing the paedophiles in the church (and no, shipping them of to a nice monastery in southern France with about $3000 a month doesn't count).

oh so he stands by scientific theory now? i thought religion didn't believe in scientific theories like the theory of gravity or the theory of evolution

I wish him the best , I also wish he would be out of a job already ... Ah one can dream

True science cannot replace God, but science can help understand God, and his very existance, by proof. Either by science, or by other things.

"he Pope gave a sermon on how man must not believe that technology can grant him the powers of God."

You mean like the power to stop starvation, natural disasters, general suffering? "God" doesn't use those powers anyway. "He" only doodles pictures of the virgin mother on chips, potatoes, sandwiches, trees, etc. Technology could do that with a laser and it would actually look like someone instead of a random blob.

If this thread is true,i guess God can replace technology to, if he wanted to.

And let's pray the Rep Jesse Jackson Jr doesn't quote you wrong by saying technology is killing God.

Can god create technology so effective that even god himself can't surpass?

 

[nexus9113]

Well he can talk the talk, but let's see him walk the walk... when our robot overlords come!

" He also pointed to the recent tragic natural disasters as reminders that mankind is not all-powerful." ...so is he saying that god caused the disasters? Why does he rely on technology to protect him in the pope-mobile, and not just his belief?

I'm surprised he didn't complain about how Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have broken the first commandment by raising themselves up to such an influence that they draw worship away from the lord.
