Piling Onto the Genie
Anthropic A.I. and the nuclear threat is rather akin to the proverbial Genie out of the bottle and it is interesting, to one who has read the bible for almost his entire life. Between what Jesus told us in Mathew 24 and what Revelations tells us in its entirety we now have the perfect storm of indicators as proposed in those testaments concerning what to watch for at the end. It isn’t one particular item of which the end is comprised, it is, rather, the fabric of science and society that is the indicator. A confluence of events leading to and causing the final stroke of God to put a halt on mankind and his governments which the bible is about.
This is why the bible goes so deeply into the history of mankind as seen through God’s eyes. Of course, it is nice to have precognitive evidence of the universes timeline to be able to understand this. We don’t have this ability but God does as does His son, Jesus. John of Patmos, a Greek island on which John was imprisoned, was given this Revelation to write down so that people in the far future would have an idea of when to get on God’s train out of Dodge. Do you have your ticket?
A.I. isn’t scary for no reason. It is scary because we have a natural defense of handing our lives over to anyone, much less a gall-darned computer program. A computer program to defend us or to tell us what to do? Neither is a really good idea as A.I. is designed and invented by humans. Humans are as imperfect as as a dark growth on the tip of your nose. A sagging flap of dark brown skin that interferes with your breathing and makes people point at you. Literally.
Then again, I’ll be dead in a few years so why should I worry? Simply because I have children. My children are adults who chose not to believe in God. Big mistake! Then again, to force them into a belief system is not my job as a person has to learn of God’s love to want to be near to Him. Nobody can force this on another except, perhaps, A.I. and A.I. has no business with God now does it? No, it doesn’t. But, if a person believes in nothing as great as God what does a person believe in? A bout of flu may suggest to a person not to believe in him or herself. Humanity, obviously, is not an answer to longevity. Hey, what is the answer to longevity or, maybe, eternity? Humans? Check the record of humanity without God as the main pillar.
