Paradise Lost 8

Adam learns a lot from the angel, but is warned to not ask seek out too much. Is this a relevant statement for today? Science is often a blessing, but sometimes is a curse. Here we find an early critique perhaps of positivism. Do we do something with science just because we can? Do we do it for the sake of science? Is it really right to inquire how to do certain things that perhaps shouldn't be done? While it may seem dated and backwards, the critique is actually relevant today.
