Rescued by Divine Intelligence
Thousands of years ago, God saw mankind working together, all with one language, defying His command to scatter and populate the whole earth. Seeing them at work, God said of the rebellious human race, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them” (Genesis 11:6). God foresaw that human intelligence, left unchecked, would find nothing beyond its grasp—even to the point of its own self-destruction. Those who doubt that mankind could create AI so effective as to destroy life from our planet should find no comfort in God’s pronouncement.
By confusing the languages of mankind, God delayed the inevitable day when human inventiveness and creativity would reach such a point that the human race could extinguish itself and “all flesh” from the face of the earth. Yet, thankfully, God tells us very clearly that a day is coming—after the unprecedented hard times of the Great Tribulation and after the return of Jesus Christ as King of kings—when human intelligence, unfettered by Satan and a sin-sick society, will be used in the way God intended. In a world that is “full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9), human beings will thrive under the guidance of the One who designed them, cares for them, and has planned for them a remarkable future. When that day comes, and human intelligence can be combined not with the artificial intelligence of machines but with the divine intelligence of God Himself, we can only begin to imagine what will be accomplished. God speed that day!
