| Summary: | Modem man is threatened by a world created by himself. He is faced with the conversion of the mind to naturalism, a dogmatic secularism and an opposition to a belief in the transcendent. He has advanced into science and technology and in the process has separated himself from the Divine. Today the whole modern world reveal the crises brought about by living in a society which is determined by scientific concepts. Today due to science advancement, our health and individualism is under scrutiny. The modem foods that we now consume are no longer the conventional products but are manipulated into modified foods (GM) by a process called genetic engineering (GE) technique that would have serious moral implications. A Nobel laureate Biologist, George Wald stated' the biggest break in nature that has occurred in human history'. He continues to state that the present potent technology is more powerful than nuclear technology. |
