I put no hope nor faith in technology, but I still use it.
Rather like the US monetary system, eh?

I do put my hopes for the future in God!! That is why I am saved!! That is why I have accepted Christ into my heart and into my life so I have a home in heaven! Technology, wealth, and political ideologies are just something here on earth that we as humans have learned to adapt to and become familiar with...so, that doesn't mean that I haven't put my hope for the future in God!!

Since humans are created in the image of God. And God is a scientist. It is in our DNA to strive for advances in science and technology as our Father did. We are just billions of years behind the scientific knowledge of our Creator, The God Yahweh. We also must not strive to prove God doesn't exist through technology but to prove His existence and that we are catching up to His level of knowledge. We should never put our trust in our scientists over our trust in the God Yahweh when it comes to knowing what is best for the human race.

It is difficult to escape idolatry especially if you have been raised to bow before images such as is found in the Roman religion.
