Mechanisation and Divinity

Whenever there is a human element involved in a certain activity, the output becomes somewhat unpredictable due to inherent inconsistencies. Say for example, cooking is a very good example of a human centric process which lends itself to an air of unpredictablity and hence excitement in its outcome.

What happens when machines replace humans in their work. Machines by their inherent design are more predicatable and less inconsistent. They are also not to have the human weaknesses which include favoritism, bribes, bias, partiality etc.This predicatability of the outcome gives some sense of comfort for humans that they are on top whereas in the former when they did things on their own, they had to pray for a divine intervention in order to get outcomes as per their predictions and with a greater semblance of consistency.

Science and Technology keeps God at bay... I am currently living in the Bay State(Massachusetts,USA)

nice observation...
but, its just an illusion!

man can only substitute the area of human intervention but cannot remove it.
for eg. by creating a computer program to work out a calculation... he has merely shifted human intervention
from the point of "working out the calculation"
to the point of "creating the program, executing it, etc."

elimination of human intervention means, all of us going jobless... impossible!

to top it all, there are issues like 'relationships' which cant be mechanised.

thats why future can never be predicted...
so, keeping God at bay is just a myth!
