Science, Religion and Mobile Phones
If God does exist, it makes you wonder what he would think about mobile phones. Thanks to the decrease in mobile roaming charges that Ofcom ruled on last year, more and more people are sharing their thoughts on God and Science via SMS and online messaging. Entire arguments are being fought online rather then face to face, though with the increase in video technology, face to screen is getting bigger.
The influence of mobile technology on science and religion has been evident for quite some time with a report published by the BBC back in 2005 showing just how much both sides are taking advantage. An SMS bible is a perfect way to reach the younger generation a lot of Christians would argue. Science on the other hand would denigrate it as a cloying and pathetic use of technology to further the advance of an archaic and outmoded code of living. Whichever side you agree with, mobiles are being used to chair these issues.
Impartial, unfeeling and wholly fair, mobiles have no say in the argument providing science and religion a platform on which to mount their arguments. Mobiles are allowing people to reach each other on a scale never before seen throughout the entirety of human history.
Religion may attack science and vice versa, but you could argue that religion is contradicting itself as it uses the same technology science created in order to denigrate it. Science on the other hand fails to understand that religion in a lot of cases paved the way for scientific discovery allowing great advances to be made in the name of God.
Whichever side you take, there is a case to argue that science and religion are closer then you think.
