Divine Technology

From the earliest moments of recorded history, humanity has sought to understand its place in the cosmos. The Genesis creation narrative, a cornerstone of Judeo-Christian theology, presents God as the ultimate Creator—an omnipotent being whose divine intellect brought order from chaos. For millennia, theologians and scholars have interpreted this story as a metaphor for the inherent creativity bestowed upon humanity. In this chapter, we explore the connections between the biblical account of creation and humanity’s technological advancements, illustrating how innovation can be viewed as a continuation of God’s creative work.
