“He has made everything beautiful in His time: also He has set eternity in their heart, yet none can find out all work that God makes from the beginning to the end.” (Eccl. 3:11)

There are three topics you may give yourself to that essentially cover everything; language, science and theology. Language because we need the ability to describe what we know and see; science because we love to find things we might know and see; and theology because no-one but the Maker has the ability to know, see and speak not only everything, but all that may be behind it or beyond it.

Science and technology is one of God’s great gifts to mankind: the knowing of worlds, dreaming of possibilities and discovery of connections that can mark genuine greatness.

God is Himself the great Engineer and Maker. To deliberately divorce ourselves from His insight, wisdom and direction in any quest we aim at is an invitation to arrogance. History is filled with records of what happened when those with such a gift did not have the sense to use this wonder wisely to bless the world. Babel was only the beginning; we can build another Hindenburg or Titanic for ourselves, but it will not be remembered on that day for how well it stood or flew or sailed.

When Jesus rose from the dead and came back to see His followers, He told Thomas, the born skeptic with the heart of a scientist, to reach for, see and touch Him and not to be faithless, but believing; Thomas said: “My Lord and my God.”

History holds the records of multitudes that used this gift for good; and time cannot tell all that was accomplished in their stand and by their hand. We must give ourselves to the discipling of those gifted and called to the sciences and technology – teaching them the ways of God so they might reveal to the World the Who behind the Wonders!
