Abstract
Having proceeded to the three different approaches of technology development in this article, the connection among development, technology development and religious believes are studied from different points of views: The first view underlines human independent rationality, and assumes the religion as a development hindrance. The religious, in the second view, is taken as a divine command and transcendent approach whose presence in social arenas is not desirable. Both of these views, therefore, do not consider any role for religion in development and subsequently in technology development. They are scrutinized in every respect in the article. It is believed, in the third view, that neither separation nor disagreement is there between religion and technology, and the reconciliation of them is not an easy task. In this view, a sustainable, balanced, multilateral and religion-based development should be obtained. In this article, the appearance of these views is studied from point of philosophy of history and historical evolution, concluding the religion authority over the development dignities. In continuation of the subject, the development of nationality based on religion is taken as a necessity for development, and underlines the evolutional development based on faith. At the end, each of the three stands points about the technology development is presented specifically, and by dividing the technology three levels, the access to the tools of science production is considered necessary, as the deepest layer of technology
