Technology inspired by God


Humans are driven to advance.

Over the last 100 years (a relatively short period in history) we've learned to fly, drive, save inconceivable amounts of information on a single disc, and the list goes on.

Truth of the matter is, we are merely innovators. God's done it all already. We wanted to fly because we saw the birds soaring through the air....

The iPod, while quite impressive in design, capacity, and functionality, is still unequal to it's creator, the human brain.

It's always refreshing to see human advancement give a shout out to it's organic predecessor. In fact, there's a name for it. Biomimetics: The young science of adapting designs from nature to solve modern problems. National Geographic has compiled a small photo gallery on the subject. You can view it here.

There's nothing more exciting to me than subconscious worship of our Creator, even by those who don't have a clue that they're doing it.
