Prayer: Father, help me to discern the implications of technology upon my relationship with You. Does the building of the Tower of Babel have similarities to today’s technology (like AI) on our relationship with You? I pray for insight, Lord. Amen.
Reading: Genesis 11:1-9 “Now the entire earth had the same language with the same vocabulary. When they traveled eastward, they found a valley-plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. They said to one another, “Come! Let’s make bricks and bake them until they’re hard.” So they used bricks for stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come! Let’s build ourselves a city, with a tower whose top reaches into heaven. So let’s make a name for ourselves, or else we will be scattered over the face of the whole land.” Then Adonai came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of man had built. Adonai said, “Look, the people are one and all of them have the same language. So this is what they have begun to do. Now, nothing they plan to do will be impossible. Come! Let Us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand each other’s language.” So Adonai scattered them from there over the face of the entire land, and they stopped building the city. This is why it is named Babel, because Adonai confused the languages of the entire world there, and from there Adonai scattered them over the face of the entire world.” TLV
Attention: Adonai (God) intervened when man became unified in one purpose, to reach heaven.
There were those who wondered if the space program of past years was infringing upon territory which God may not have wanted us to invade. In past years, cloning was something which I was concerned if it too was an invasion upon what was sacredly belonged to God. I wonder about the new AI technology.
Here is an article which provides information about AI applications: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/ten-ways-artificial-intelligence-will-shape-the-next-five-years/ar-AA1n4Iro?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=EDGEXST&cvid=e5931f6e4f484e70a1f591ca52d3751b&ei=29
I am planning to host a forum mid-February, so, if it comes off, a recording will be available tomorrow via First Place Ministries Newsletter. You must be a subscriber to our Newsletter to receive it via email. We just need your email address. Just click here: www.firstplaceministries.com.
I am most concerned about the aim of scientists to build a better human being by combining computer technology with God’s creation. A one upmanship of sort. Can man improve on what the Divine has created? Will God allow man to go to a boundary or limit, or will He intervene?
I welcome your comments via our website at www.firstplaceministries.com.
