It is too readily assumed that a thinker who dwells on the dangers of increasing mechanization is himself advocating a movement back to Nature. But of course the Christian's concern over mechanization does not derive from any dreamy illusions about natural man's innocence. The familiar antithesis between mechanization and Nature largely misses the point. We do not lament the increasing dependence upon mechanical contrivances because it removes man from the natural, but because it removes man from the supernatural.
