Technological Theological Question?

If both produces the same exact result, what difference does that make???

I think there is a difference between information and knowledge.

Yes I know but both information and knowledge you can find on both books and internet.

I perform scientific research since the early 90's until now. I began with libraries, manually searching and browsing books then transitioned to internet by the early 2000's. I don't see any difference, it just more difficult back then. What I learned, I kept as knowledge either from books or from internet.

Yes. I was not being rigid with my comment. It was just a generalization. Of course if you go to appropriate places you can learn many things on the internet. But the primary purpose or rather the way it is set up and used in 99% of cases, internet serves as a server of information.

Everything that is intended for the benefit of mankind, Satan will turn into a determent--if we allow it. The printed word is used to promote the kingdom of God--or used to profane it. Same with pictures, hand drawn or machine engineered, motion or still-- can be used for good or evil. You can print the bible with beautiful pictures or a torrid tale with porn. There is much done for God on the internet--but wherever humans reside, there will always also be evil---for now.

Yup, because you can use the internet also as a book when you finally found the article or the topic or subject you are looking for. While searching for the information, the internet acts like an old school library with your librarian as google.com (or whatever search engine you use), only way way faster.

My thoughts are the same! Cross examination, real life verification, and statistical studies will reveal that the internet is not all lies and can be invaluable in seeking the Truth.

I do not just pour over the Bible, I found it too limited. I look everywhere, including ancient religions and this is where internet is helping a lot.

Ironically, all this knowledge is making me doubt religion. I might be able to prove this one day with nothing short of a spectacular demonstration.
