Nikki Wittenburg on 09 Dec 09For sometime, it has been accepted that biology and the study of life has lost significance and touch with particular aspects of life. This article suggests that this is not the case. If one was to study the work of several "cyberscience" scientists, one finds that technology is in fact is able to open entire new avenues of study in relation to biology. A few examples are the study of God as well as sex, specifically as a substitution for God. These two subjects have created much tension in the scientific as well as theological communities. This article looks at the biological results of these issues. Although the issues studied may be controversial, the scientific and technological advancements that made them possible cannot be. In a Post Modern era, we take things as common as biology, and use our ever-progressing modes of technology to study concepts that were once thought to be completely unrelated to the sciences.
