As an engineer, I can say that those who make technology their god are fools. Science is separate from religion.

Note that the Pope says that technology gives us tools. True, technology is amoralistic -- it is neither good nor evil, it is what man does with it that is the problem, for example, guns, another technology is neither good nor evil.

Science might be separate from religion, but, it isn't separate from God. God gave us all the tools we need to create, to think, to reason. If we can imagine it, we can create it, only because God has given us the capacity to do so. And you are correct. Technology is neither good nor evil, it all has to do with how we use it. The only exception that I can think of, is trying to make something God created better. As in hybrid plants. They can't reproduce. If we don't keep the heirloom seeds and plants separate, and if a disease hits the hybrids, there would be mass starvation. Crossing plants isn't the problem, it's making them hybrid. I've been planting veggies for awhile and can tell you that the heirloom seeds and plants do just as well and perhaps better then the hybrids.

Or the processing we do with wheat and other grains and food. Homogenizing milk is a big problem too, it kills off all kinds of enzymes. Eating these foods in a limited amount isn't a problem. But, when a whole diet is made up of them or mostly made up of them, your asking for all kinds of health problems.
