In Genesis 1, God commanded Man to “have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” However, with the advance in technology, is man now becoming slave to the machines he invented? What is the future of mankind and the advancing technology? Listen as Pat and Dr. Craig M. Gay discuss the direction of modern technology and the future of humanity.

Edge of Faith talks with Craig M. Gay about Modern Technology and the Human Future.
My guest is Craig M. Gay. His newest book is Modern Technology and the Human Future: A Christian Appraisal. (https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Technology-Human-Future-Christian/dp/0830852204) Technology is not neutral. From the plow to the printing press, technology has always shaped human life and informed our understanding of what it means to be human. And advances in modern technology, from computers to smartphones, have yielded tremendous benefits. But do these developments actually encourage human flourishing? Craig Gay raises concerns about the theological implications of modern technologies and of philosophical movements such as transhumanism. In response, he turns to a classical affirmation of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of God, took on human flesh. By exploring the doctrine of the incarnation and what it means for our embodiment, Gay offers a course correction to the path of modern technology without asking us to unplug completely. Gay demonstrates that the doctrine of the incarnation is not neutral either. It presents an alternative vision for the future of humanity. Special Guest: Craig M. Gay.
