Speculation Episodes

If you read Revelation, the End Times are about a global dominant power. Right now, we are living in a world of competing towers. I'm not sure that race is winnable for reasons we get into in the discussion. Perhaps what sticks out the most from this deep dive is this. If rivals cannot win by building the better model, they will compete for what cannot be copied: the chips, the factories that make them, the power plants, and the payment systems. The race moves down to the physical layer. That m...

What if the real threat of AI isn’t that it ends the human race, but that it changes it? Jesus said the end would come “as the days of Noe were.” So what actually happened in the days of Noah? In Part 2 we open Genesis 6 verse by verse, with the Septuagint alongside, to ask who “the sons of God” were, who the giants were, and why it matters now. Today parents can rank embryos by predicted traits, AI is designing new life from scratch, and tech leaders talk openly about merging with machines and...

Today we are taking a short break from The Parables. For the next 5 podcasts, we are going to address the elephant in the room. And actually, the elephant is responding back! Let me explain. I think in the last month especially, but longer if you’re paying attention, there is growing concern that AI could end humanity. You’ve heard the fatalistic predictions. Artificial intelligence will outthink us, outwork us, and one day decide it no longer needs us. Some of the people saying it aren’t ...

A lot is happening in the news and just to be sure it wasn’t just something I’m seeing because it’s something I’m interested in (which is how news is curated to the individual these days), I went to Google trends for some perspective. We looked at both Israel and Iran and then a lot of other stuff. Then when we felt we were on solid ground, we checked the headlines. Not the ones on the local news feeds. We checked the headlines of prophecy to build the picture of what we’re seeing. In fact, we r...

I don't get rattled much by what's going on in the world, but the production of this podcast has stirred some anxiousness deep in my soul. Not because of what Revelation says, but because of the plausibility of what we're presenting. Everybody watching the field of AI has no doubt crossed paths with Yampolskiy. We watched an interview with him and then asked a simple question. Can we extrapolate what Yampolskiy is saying and overlay it on the text of Revelation? Just to begin with a guardrail ...

Can Quantum Physics help explain God. Let’s explore some of the connections between quantum science and scripture.

I realized that many have not read or even care to read Ayn Rand and her book "The Fountainhead". I have loved this book but as I have grown in my own faith, I began to question the basic premise of Ayn Rand's view of life and philosophy and wondered if a Howard Roark (her main character) could have existed as essentially the same person but one how believed in God. The climax of that novel is a courtroom scene where Howard Roark is defending his act of blowing up an apartment complex that he cr...

For most of my adult life, I was an athiest. Ayn Rand was one of my heroes. Sometimes an Athiest will come very close to God but not quite get there. In this article, we take Ayn Rand's speech by Howard Roark in The Fountainhead and rewrite it as if Ayn Rand's character was a Christian. With all the respect due to Ayn Rand as an incredible thinker and author, the rewritten version gives Howard Roark more depth as a person of God, and might have even help define his motivations better within the ...
