...so because we can only resolve one arcsecond using our vision we are somehow "against God" for inventing binoculars?

I wouldn't say against God. Against our own nature is more accurate. Now this is just be rambling, but say we were only meant to see so little for a reason. What if eventually we saw something we weren't meant to see and would result in catastrophe? Hypothetical situation, but one worth pondering.

Not worth pondering. The minute you start jumping at shadows is the minute you give up reason.

I feel this contradicts what you've been saying. I would say that jumping at shadows, however pointless it may be, is idealistic and leads to innovation through imagination.
