The technology god that has emerged, exists within a
set of doctrines and beliefs.
Although many scientists are atheists their
beliefs sound more far-fetched than the biblical teachings that they
refute. While some of their science is
based on fact, a good deal is based on theories. Along with science comes
science fiction and some scientists are entrenched in both. It is notable that many can tell you scenes
out of the latest Sci-Fi movies, and out of Star Trek, but they have no
knowledge of the Bible.
The technology god prophets called futurists advocate
technology as the end all and have gone so far as to talk about technology
ending humanity and creating a new immortal race, or artificial intelligence taking
over humanity.
No one captured the idea of technology as god more
precisely than quantum computing D-Wave founder Eric Ladizinsky, when he spoke
of the pulse like noise of the D-Wave machine sounding like a heartbeat and
called it “an alter to an alien god.”
The chief prophet is author, inventor, futurist,
computer scientist Ray Kurzweil, who in 1988 was named the Inventor of the Year
by MIT, was awarded the Dickson Prize, Carnegie Melon’s top science prize in
1994, in 1999 won the United States’ highest honor in technology the National
Medal of Technology and Innovation in 2001 the Lemelson-MIT Prize, and in 2002
inducted into the U.S. Patent Office’s National Inventor’s Hall of Fame. In
addition, Kurzweil was the recipient of nine honorary doctorates.
Ray Kurzweil is the science world’s leading prophet on
the merging of man with machines as the creation of a new race. Kurzweil is an advocate for the futurist and
transhumanist movements, which include the future of nanotechnology, robotics and
biotechnology. He is a leading teacher on the technological singularity.
Kurzweil’s books include: The Age of Spiritual Machines,
The Singularity is Near, and How to Create a Mind the Secret of Human
Thought Revealed.
He stated of the singularity, “Technological change will be so rapid and
its impact so profound that every aspect of human life will be irreversibly
transformed…There won’t be a clear distinction between humans and
machines…Computers are not going to be these rectangular devices…They are going
to be inside our body and brain and we are going to be a hybrid of biological
and non-biological intelligence. Go back
500 years, not a lot happened. Now a lot happens in six months. Technology
feeds on itself and it gets faster and faster.
The future changes will be so rapid you won’t be able to follow it
unless you merge with it.”
Based on Ray Kurzweil’s
book, The Age of Spiritual Machines: When
Computers Exceed Human Intelligence, and his talks, he believes that these
machines possess human consciousness and a soul. He stated, “By 2020, we will begin to
have relationships with automated personalities and use them as teachers,
companions, and lovers. By 2030, the distinction between us and computers will
have been so sufficiently blurred that when machines claim to be conscious, we
will have no choice but to believe them. Human identity will be called into
question as never before, as a billion years of evolution are superseded in a
mere hundred by machine technology that we have created. We will become
cyborgs, but what will computers become?”
There is also this idea
that the machines will adopt the best traits of humans as they develop. Another
prophet of the technology god, Ben Goertzel, PhD., is an American author and
researcher in the field of artificial intelligence. His positions
include chief scientist, scientific adviser and chairman for robotics and
biopharma companies and artificial intelligence and futurist societies, along
with being an adviser to Singularity University and is also research professor
in the Fujian Key Lab for Brain-Like Intelligent Systems at Xiamen University,
China.
Goertzel stated in line
with this idea, “People have this idea that computers robots somehow have to be
cold and impersonal and uncaring, I don’t see why that’s true, I believe we can
go to artificial machines that are more caring, more compassionate, have better
and stable goal systems than a human being. Once machines can think better than
us all these other technologies will develop faster and faster.”
Futurist Max Moore, PhD.,
who founded the Extrophy Institute, wrote on becoming post human, “were saying
that we can become something more than human… challenging every orthodox
belief, challenging what we currently accept and saying why can’t we do better?
Why can’t we improve human biology? Why can’t we change our genome? Just
because it is the way it is doesn’t mean it’s as good as it can be. Why do we
age and die why can’t we do something about that?
Futurist, theoretical
physicist and also technology god prophet Michio Kaku stated that at MIT they
are trying to create emotional robots. The idea is that technology can enhance
humans, create an entire new race and achieve immortality.
Although the god of technology has its own teachings
on artificial intelligence and a post human race, these will feed into the
Antichrist’s claims. He will not adopt these teachings but will adapt them to
his claims of deity and to blaspheme God.
Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change times and laws and will sanction
what has been deemed unethical. The False
Prophet will be his greatest advocate and as I stated before, may very well be
a scientist.
If you liked this information and found it informative:
I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
This site's articles and videos take a lot of time, money
and hard work to produce. Bible Prophecy’s message is an important one
to get out. It is a warning and even more so, it proves the Bible as the
Word of God and opens the door to give the Gospel. If you regularly
