easing the amount of technology in the world will progressively enable humanity to have greater and greater control over the environment and ultimately the universe.Although humanity may never prove or disprove the existence of God, his presence still affects much of our thinking. For in the presence of God there is less a problem of freedom than a problem of evil. (Camus, pg. 56) The existence of God has been called into question citing the problem of evil. If God exists, then how could he let bad things happen to good people? Perhaps the following analogy can be used to explain.

In cases where pursuit of their own good, infringes on the freedom of others, these actions must not be carried out. Individuals must be responsible enough to pursue the good, and still try to promote the freedom of others.

But the inevitable question arises, what is the teleological purpose to it all? Are we striving to make a Utopia here on earth? Using the example of communist Russia, this would seem to be an unattainable goal. (Madison, Dec. 2, 1998) It may be true that this goal is currently unattainable, but what about fifty thousand years from now? If technology keeps ...
