Through the ages?
In the beginning God created the world. The world was perfect, the best possible world in every sense. But the understanding of humans was not all that perfect. When humans met healthy or not healthy things, natural or artificial things, they treated them alike, not caring for what was a pertfect creation of God and what just a creation of the human hand, what healthy and what somehow lacking. So when humans had to use their understanding as a guide of how to do things, they used both healthy and not-so-healthy models from their experience. So what could have been almost perfect, became a mixture of things of differrent quality. And so the world slowly deteriorated away from the paradise in the beginning of time.
The success of the artificialities makes humans lose belief in God's creation work. But since as the technology develops competition increases, it becomes ever more important to optimise the whole system. At the beginning it was possible to optimise only the technology and humans needed to adabt. Now the technology is able to adabt and the humans' part needs optimising – but that part is still optimised like in the beginning of time: by noticing that God's choise in how to arrange things is still the best. Nature and technology will melt together… Resulting in the paradise in the beginning of time with technology around too for the needs of protection and for answering also other needs. But all needs cannot be answered by the technology since some needs connect to the way that other needs are answered, trying to answer them by the means of the technology would mean building a real like natural world for humans and other living beings to live in – the possibility of such is still too far in the future…
