Psalms 139: 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. 15 My substance was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
We must remember in God’s decision-making about whether to move forward with the plans to create intelligent life with the freedom of choice, He also saw in advance that most of the angels would have chosen good. And since this would be the case, then the issue to be resolved was: will the pros outweigh the cons? Therefore, before we move forward, let us clearly delineate the pros and the cons, as far as God has revealed.
The Pros: [1] Intelligence with the freedom of choice is a good thing, for one can build sterling character through the medium of choice. With intelligence, persons can appreciate, decide, love, sympathize, understand, and thus, can make meaningful contributions to the universe and world in general. With intelligence and freedom of choice, persons can also invent, which is how we came up with artificial intelligence, that folks are now singing the praises of.
It was God-given intelligence and freedom of choice that made A.I possible, and thus, even though there are known risks, intelligence and freedom of choice are good things, in and of themselves. What we use them for is what makes all of the difference, but the capabilities, in and of themselves, are all inherently good.
Genesis 11: 4 And they said, go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
