“As I worked on projects which fulfilled a real human need forces were working through me which amazed me. I would often go to sleep with an apparently insoluble problem. When I woke the answer was there. Why, then, should we who believe in Christ be so surprised at what God can do with a willing man in a laboratory?

“In 1867, George Campbell, Duke of Argyll, had published The Reign of Law, a book that Darwin found deeply annoying. A supporter of Richard Owen, Campbell argued that while evolution (or Development) might be observable in the fossil record, it was merely evidence of God's purpose. God, for example, would cause horses and oxen to evolve in time to meet human needs. The brightly colored plumage of birds, Campbell went on, were simply God's decorations of nature for humanity's enjoyment.” NeedsHumansBookMightLawPurposeHumanityFoundCausesRecordsExampleDevelopmentEvolutionBirdEvidenceHorseEvolveEnjoymentAnnoyingReignSupporterFossilsDukesDecorationHuman NeedsOxenEvidence Of God Author:Jonathan Clements

“The progressive development of man is vitally dependent on invention. It is the most important product of his creative brain. Its ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of the forces of nature to human needs. This is the difficult task of the inventor who is often misunderstood and unrewarded. But he finds ample compensation in the pleasing exercises of his powers and in the knowledge of being one of that exceptionally privileged class without whom the race would have long ago perished in the bitter struggle against pitiless elements. . . .” MenWorldNeedsMindHumansLongImportantPurposeForceDifficultRaceBrainClassStruggleCreativeMaterialsProductsDevelopmentExerciseElementsTasksUltimateInventionBitterDependentProgressiveMasteryLong AgoPrivilegedMisunderstoodCompensationInventorHuman NeedsMaterial WorldForces Of NatureDifficult Tasks Book:My Inventions Source: My Inventions

“Star Trek speaks to some basic human needs: that there is a tomorrow — it's not all going to be over with a big flash and a bomb; that the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans.

“The idea of having more technology solving this idea of hyperactive lifestyle is not really the mainstream problem.
