Musings about science, spirituality and the future of A.I
The true world has not begun yet
There is no time we are not faced with things that we do not have a complete explanation of.
Even the things you thought you knew, when you get back to them again, a new and deeper insight floods your heart. This is a sign that you didn’t exhaust all the knowledge in that matter initially. This is also a sign that many of the things you think you now have a full understanding of, you are probably just scratching the surface.
More and more knowledge makes us more and more humble.
The proud one is a very ignorant person.
This is because if you have been privy to certain depths of understanding, you’d know that you’ve come a long way to get here, and looking at where you’re going, it’s like a never-ending journey.
So, pride for you becomes foolish.
Why should I be proud when there are lots of things to unravel, and I’m just starting?
For centuries, man has always wanted to understand this world. Science is an attempt by man to understand the world they are in. Science is not in contradiction to God’s word; rather, it is an abridged version or incomplete knowledge.
To water down everything you see to 1s and 0s is to be lying to yourself.
What is behind the development of the 1s and 0s?
If there is a concept that makes scientific knowledge accurate, who sets the standard for those measurements?
Who even determines what should be termed right or wrong?
Where does morality meet science?
If science and morality meet only on “ethics,” how can you determine if “scientific research” is the right thing to do even if nobody’s ethics is trampled upon?
Science only asks questions.
Then they try to provide answers.
I’m thoroughly convinced that till the end of the age of man (if there is anything like that), man will keep on asking questions and not getting satisfactory answers because creation itself is first spiritual and so no amount of scientific “exegesis” can satisfactorily answer man’s perplexing questions.
Humans, the more you think you know, the less you actually know.
Proverbs 20:24, “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?”
Pay attention to how the verse above is rendered: “Why try to understand everything along the way?”
It’s not suggesting that we don’t put effort into understanding this life and the world we live in. That’s not the focus of the verse. The writer here is trying to help us see that, on our own, we humans could never understand everything. This is where science fails.
Science can never provide sufficient answers to all of humanity's questions. Free thinking cannot provide all the answers humans have been seeking for ages.
It is the Lord who directs our steps.
We could never do so on our own. Humans have been trying for years to become independent of a Creator, but the more they try, the fewer answers they have.
The whole world, and even the ages to come, are submerged in higher layers of consciousness than we could ever grapple with. Artificial intelligence is but a fragment of the vast intelligence that exists out there.
In fact, A.I. is the consequence of the failure of spiritual intelligence.
Whenever man tries and fails to measure up, he creates a veil and forcefully tries to tilt humanity toward that veil. Artificial intelligence is a very limited form of intelligence. It is nothing but a shadow of the real thing: the life of the Spirit, which is beyond time, space, or matter.
The whole of A.I. will collapse into spirituality.
I have seen years to come in which all the advancements in technology collapsed into consciousness. The measure of reality was no longer through devices and chips, but through spiritual intelligence and consciousness.
Science knows that spirituality is a threat to technology, and that is why it has sought to make anything spiritual look archaic while presenting a world where A.I. governs everything. Check your science fiction movies; they all show you a world governed by highly advanced technology. And that is the ascendency of A.I. I am saying that at the end of that ascendency is spirituality.
A time will come on earth when what you will call the most advanced form of intelligence will not be technology or science, but spirituality.
And just as Constantine promoted Christianity throughout the Roman Empire in the 4th century, many countries and world powers will seek to make spirituality a state movement because of its growing influence and popularity.
This is not the zenith of things.
The true world has not even begun yet.
