Last month the world got its first look at new photographs of deep space from NASA's James Webb telescope. The level of detail in the photos was staggering and beautiful, revealing stars, "Cosmic Cliffs," and ultraviolet radiation from the birth of new stars.
Christians should approach new technologies with care. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should. At the same time, this new telescope is an inspiring example of what humans can do because of how God made us. Technology can enable us to know and appreciate God's world and to better tend the garden of creation. It also enables us to fight God's design or try to control it as if we were God.
This telescope is a remarkable achievement, involving years of insight, ingenuity, and perseverance, which are God-given virtues. The fruit of this work rightly elicits awe and should drive us to study and admire a vast and mysterious universe. And it points us to the God who made it all.
Technology that leads us to appreciate creation, grow in wonder, and learn more about it is a true gift.
