Non-Believers Of God Fail To Rationalize The Proof In AI
by Marvin Pirila
If there is no God and naturalism is all there is, why is so much beyond man’s ability to understand. Everything should follow a simple, understandable process, a process where a clear path from beginning to present is obvious. Instead man takes large leaps in establishing a foundation to base his theories. That’s like a foundation magically occurring, so you only must worry about building on top of it. The original source of gravity, beginning of life, intelligence, etc. are glossed over, ignored, or thought to come by some stroke of luck.
Ironically, as man builds programs and machines based on artificial intelligence (AI) he knows it is only as smart as the programmer and contributors. Although AI can assimilate endless amounts of data it will only do what it’s programmed to do. The intelligence of the new AI machine is shared, not created by the machine itself. Yet man, knowing he cannot show where his own intelligence originated, knowing that it cannot be created from natural processes, is blind to the evidence of God’s existence.
Man is doing with AI what God did with his creation of man, albeit man is operating at a far lower level. Their machines can do wonders with data, but have no emotions, no ability to dream, no instincts, no soul, etc. They require artificial charging to operate. Man has emotions, dreams, and endless intellect. There is a power in the unseen that only humans can recognize and tap. Every person has intelligence and special abilities, only they have, whereas AI simply follows an established algorithm ─ all machines with the same AI will share the same processing pattern.
A man’s innate desires will motivate him to pursue his calling, leading him to be even more skilled and intelligent in his endeavor. Others will simply squander the natural talent and intellect they received. The difference is a man’s freewill to decide his own path. An AI machine is told exactly what to do and there is no freewill or thought process that allows it to deviate from the program it was given. There is no thinking, just processing.
