→Agriculture and biology
* Putting bits in horses mouths ([[James 3:3]])
The Old Testamnet Testament also provides an intersting not about early science. Solomon's wisdom was not only in the fields of politics, leadership, literature, spirituality etc: he was also famed for his scientific work in botany and zoology ([[1 Kings 4:33]])
As with other areas of technology, the Biblical authors portray an acceptance of agricultural technology, and a respect for those who use that technology. In [[Luke 5]] for instance, Jesus honours the work of Simon and other fishermen, and is happy to make use of boats for his own purposes. On the other hand, Jesus calls the fishermen to leave their technology in order to follow him. Nets and boats are not enough for true life: sometimes not even enough to catch fish! You also need knowledge and, by implication, spiritual insight.
