![]() "Man is by nature a pragmatic materialist, a mechanic, a lover of gadgets and gadgetry" - Elizabeth Gould Davis I did some research on Elizabeth Gould Davis and I do not agree with what she has to say. if you take the time to read a few articles, you might think the same. I do however think that what henry David Thoreau is saying is quite accurate! “Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end" i believe what he is saying is that we are not perfect, but God is. we are made in his image. God is THE creator and if we were made to be like him, why would we not creat things?! god makes things to point the glory to himself, and we often try to do the same, we do not really deserve glory though! all glory should go to God! and if you take a look at our fabulous world you will see that God is an amazing creator! and that though it is lovely it is broken! we can not fix that but we can try to be like Jesus, we can create and help and love! "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27 ESV
