The limited mind of the irreligious

Instapundit has an interesting post about the "technological singularity" predicted by some scientists and a lot of SF writers. If I understand it correctly, it's the prediction that technology and knowledge are advancing at an accelerating pace and will result in technology we can no longer control and a body of knowlege that no one can grasp.

My religion is based on a concept of God as someone who's already been that route and mastered it. I believe that the firehose of knowledge we are trying to drink from is due to the influence of God and that he has given us the rules to change ourselves into the kind of beings who can comprehend the singularity. It's too bad to see people with such limited horizons that they see the Singularity as overwhelming or frightening. Joseph Smith had a vision far broader and forward than anybody in his time and our own. The future will be handled on the basis of individual discipline.
