Would it do any good to undo an invention?

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

I would love to “un-invent” things that cause harm, like weapons and illicit drugs. But even if I could un-invent an object or a substance that destroys lives, would it do any good?

Would removing one harmful thing from our world change human behavior?

No, it wouldn’t.

Our world has many troubles and it isn’t because of things.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

John 16:33, NIV
