In a few decades we will probably create AI that is “superior” to us ( whatever that actually means ).
That is naturally impossible. If your creation can outsmart you, it stands to reason that you can outsmart God, a sort of Cosmic Singularity, but that is yet to be seen...because the singularity is a lie
I said
A creator always leaves an imprint/ his fingerprints on his creation. Creatorship, in the truest sense of the word, is the ability to make something out of nothing. I can't go to a mine, strip it of minerals i can't make myself, then make a computer and call myself a creator of a computer. No one can create anything except God. This is best illustrated hypothetically when man stands up to God and tells Him that he doesn't need Him because he can also create living things (think Frankenstein, gene editing, cloning etc) and God responds to the challenge by asking him to go ahead and 'create' without 'using my dirt'.
Since no creation is greater than its creator, just by looking at man and his habitation, one can deduce that a Being much greater than or more superior to man, would have brought him into existence.
That's why the Singularity is a lie. Machines can never outsmart man, inotherwords man will beat a machine on any given day. So, inorder to make the singularity happen, man has to be deliberately dumbed down, his intellect fiercely assaulted, and forced to adapt to this new reality by merging with his own 'creation' to become trans-human. But that also signals his extinction
It’s for his entertainment and ego, why does he desire to be worshipped?
God doesn’t force anyone to worship Him. Worship is an expression of love and gratitude from creation to the Creator.
He could still let us have a choice but why does he not constantly show himself? At anytime he could come down and say hey guys! I’m God I created you, let me show you an example of my awesome and supreme power! So why the game? Why reveal Himself only to a group of desert nomads the rest of the world be damned?
Why doesn’t He show Himself? He already did! It seems as though you crave a Theophany, the question though is, if God revealed Himself to you, would you believe? Would you accept Him? You should use the events of the 1st Century as a lesson….How the Jewish nation treated Christ. Do you desire a manifestation inorder to boost your faith? God doesn’t need to dazzle you with His awesome power, He already left His imprints on His creation. Aren't dazzled by the natural world? There are two books that reveal God to us, Nature and the Sacred text. The complexities, mystery and beauty of the natural world stand as a testament to the Creator.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20
God is also by necessity the source of evil if he is the source of all things
God is the source of good. Evil finds its definition in good in the sense that it cannot be understood apart or outside the concept of goodness. Evil is the inversion or perversion of good. It isn’t a stand-alone concept. If there was a source/wellspring of evil, the source justifies its existence but evil is senseless. There is no legitimate reason for its existence. Besides, evil is inherently destructive. So, if ever there was a source of evil like God, the source eventually destroys itself. Just look at an evil man: he not only destroys all that is around him but he also ends up destroying himself. And we know that God cannot cease to be, so that is evidence enough that He isn’t the source of evil because He would as soon destroy us and Himself.
Even though God is the source of good, it is impossible for Him to be the source of evil because;
a)He cannot go against His own nature. He is good.
b)God is incapable of evil because there is no incentive for Him to be evil. He is the highest authority. There is no authority above Him whose throne He daydreams of usurping or marshalling a band of rebels to stage a revolt. If He needs money, icecream and cake, He can simply create those things. The reason we do evil is because we cannot gift ourselves what we want when we want it, so we pervert our will, strength, intellect etc to get what we want at the expense of others and ourselves.
Iam echoing what is written in Job (34:10-15)
‘So listen to me, you men of understanding.
Far be it from God to do evil,
from the Almighty to do wrong……It is unthinkable that God would do wrong,
that the Almighty would pervert justice.
13 Who appointed him over the earth?
Who put him in charge of the whole world?
14 If it were his intention
and he withdrew his spirit[a] and breath,
15 all humanity would perish together
and mankind would return to the dust.
