Quoting: ajkI don't think that God thinks that's a bad thing at all. In the OP, I merely say that "knowledge has increased." In the Genesis cites, the Tree is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That is, people defining "good" and "evil" themselves instead of taking God's word for it. We become like that to which we are devoted. - Choose wisely. |

You're blinded by your hate for religion. Any sensible person would know...knowledge has increased AND decreased throughout history. Civilizations get wiped out...their inteligence and knowledge went with them. Great thinkers die without being able to publish their knowledge, there goes their findings. The internet changed all that. Log it on to the web...and suddenly, you've got a great source of information and a great source of record keeping. Spread this information to others and they can stand on the shoulders of this knowledge...unlike history where only those who could read or had access to the books of knowledge could find inspiration and further the study. Very simple...I don't suppose you thought of that, because your hate clouded your judgement. |

Quoting: ajkKnowledge is certainly not a bad thing much GOOD information can be gained from a few minutes of research on the internet. But think about it this way, when the "Tower of Babel" was being constructed, the Bible says God realized that man was capable of much destruction when there were no "knowledge" barriers between them so he confused their languages making them unable to communicate. God intends some things to remain a mystery FOR OUR OWN GOOD! Jump forward to today. My husband regularly emails a missionary friend in Colombia, S.A. who speaks only Spanish. He types the email in English, hits a translate button and instantly, the email is translated to Spanish. The computer has found a way around God's language barrier. In my husband's case, it is used for God's glory (to fellowship with and encourage another Christian) but think of the millions of other sinister purposes this could serve. So, knowledge, itself, isn't a bad thing...it just means we have come "full circle" from the Garden of Eden! |

Quoting: wirelessguru1The Buddhists did a pretty good job with Indra's Net [link to en.wikipedia.org] (In Godel, Escher and Bach), Hofstadter uses Indra's Net as a metaphor for the complex interconnected networks formed by relationships between objects within a system—including social networks, the interactions of particles, and the "symbols" which stand for ideas within a brain or intelligent computer.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1207332 United States 12/29/2010 06:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A relative had a dream in the 80's in which he was "taken" up by an angel into space and given an aerial view of the world. He saw towers being erected in the US and UK and between them a spider web was formed. Within seconds, these towers were everywhere and the "spider web" encompassed the globe. He didn't know what these towers were (there was no internet or cell phones to speak of at that time) so he asked the angel what he was seeing. Quoting: ^Watcher^The angel responded with this..."This is the fulfilling of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." When my relative stated to me the angel's interpretation in his dream, he asked me to look on the back of my laptop and tell him what I saw. There was the MacIntosh Computer logo...THE APPLE WITH THE BITE TAKEN OUT OF IT! The universal symbol for mankind's act of rebellion in the Garden of Eden...Hidden in PLAIN VIEW! But keep in mind, the bible doesn't mention an apple as being the fruit. Don't get me wrong. I am a beleiver. Just sayin. |

Merry Christmas User ID: 1210796 United States 12/29/2010 06:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | VERY INFORMATIVE! Thanks for posting this! Quoting: ^Watcher^I believe this "exponential" explosion in technology and knowledge will serve to do one of two things... It will either: 1) cause people to believe they are intellectually capable of justifying the non-existence of God because all the "knowledge" they need is a mouse click away, (who needs to "experience" God if they can just "google" what they want to "know" about Him) OR 2) bring about a global revival as the Truth of God is able to reach millions more through this technology than ever before. I believe there is a "great awakening" and the internet, initially designed to monitor US, is now actually being used to wake the world up to "THEM"! It's clear that those in power feel threatened by this "knowledge explosion" or they wouldn't be threatening to censor the internet...evidence that the internet is not following their intended purpose. If you watch closely, you can see the "sweat beads" forming on their brows! It's a lovely sight! hehe Hello, A funny thing about "knowledge" and why Father (God to you) didnot want Adam and Eve to eat of the tree of "knowledge". Without WISDOM, knowledge is the tool of the Devil, and the only way to get WISDOM is through Salvation (to be born again/to be washed in the saving blood of the Christ, Jesus). See how it works: now at the end of Earth's life, the Book of Revelation is open. Earth is in her death throes. Hebrew 26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. : [link to www.biblegateway.com] In other words: the beginning of the end, started 2,000 years ago. Hebrews 9 (King James Version) Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished Isaiah 65:17 17 "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. Isaiah 66:22 22 "As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares the LORD, "so will your name and descendants endure. Revelation 21 The New Jerusalem 1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. Truth will set you free John 8:32 |
