[_ Old Earth _] Nanotechnology

I'm curious on the reaction to nanotechnology around here.

I found this article on finding it morally acceptable or not having to do with religiosity:

nano-tech now has some guidelines it thinks scientists should follow:

This is a summary of some of the issues:

The interviewed guy is a credible source although the website itself may be biased.

This link has some good information: http://www.foresight.org/

And of course....how stuff works <3 : http://science.howstuffworks.com/nanotechnology.htm

This is what I'll leave you with for now....

"Nanotechnology" by itself is a descriptiveless term and simply refers to businesses engaged in the design and manufacture of composites smaller than a micron (hence the name). SEMS can also be considered nanotech. Merceds Benz created a paint made of particles that are ea. 50 nm (nanometers) in size, bringing to the industry the first 'nano-paint'.
There's nothing scripturally wrong (and everything right) with nanotechnology unless you freak out at bar codes and hominid fossils and whatnot...
