In all my years of study I have determined there are two main "gods" which preside over this world. Now when I say God I do not mean a personified being like a human. But by the more general conceptualization, a being which is measurably more powerful than human beings, and is not constrained to the limitations of human beings. These beings are not like us their version of being is diffrent. One is biological evolution and the second is technology. As Darwin observed a seemingly insignificant mutation can compound over time to create diverse species. Evolution then is not the cause of change but the God that evolves from change over time. Christian's are quick to point out that it is very improbable that humans emerged from random chance. Which further complicates their point which is god made them. Well if human complexity is so improbable to evolve from random interaction the complexity of a God evolving before is even less probable a notion. Rather I believe gods evolve as evolution points out everything residing in our universe does. Now the God of evolution is not all powerful it need not be. It need only be measurable more powerful than a human being to control matter or exist outside time. It a repeating self replicating pattern just like us is as much a being as us. If its effects are tangable it to must be tangable.
The second God is the God of technology. A much smaller God at this point because its evolution has been short compared to the 13.5 billion year evolution of evolution itself. But it too has the trait of compounding returns and accelerates exponentially. Technology is at war with nature technology's aim is to become a more powerful being than that of nature. You can see the shift in world power from one to the other around the time the Anglo saxons started what would be become a revolution in Europe and a war in America for freedom freedom from nature. The beginning of the church marked a change in the way people observed status and power. Power was no longer held by nature and its rules but by the rules of "god" the God of technology. We went from biologically appointed power to power from subjectivity. This marked the doom of the human race. What is the ultimate goal of technology? To become the God of nature. To control that which controls, but there is a catch that isnt possible for a human. So we create artificial intelligence. Not just in the form of computers but in most technology to help humans surpass human capacities to control evolution. And science is winning this war but at what cost and for what purpose? Because the God of technology evolved from the God of evolution. The difference between science and evolution is that science is supposed to be an objective perspective that is the idea to have such a completely objective perspective you can see through your bias. But the problem is that science as a concept is entirely subjective not objective. Science in a dogmatic way is acknowledging the thing it tries to disprove the "supernatural" it is in itself if it exists the attempt to achieve supernatural abilities. So how could one have a completely objective perspective even if I manage to curve my bias it's still a humans eyes so if I use a computer it's still a humans perspective of a computers perspective. Evolution has already won because the only way to have an objective perspective is to not exist. That is the only way to be free of bias judgement and misunderstanding that is the ultimate aim of tecnology the death of humanity the death of subjectivity which means the death of science
From what I know artificial intelligence
man-made will never match intelligence
human, for the simple reason that after its creation
will not be able to evolve on its own. Sooner
humanity will create something like ROBOCOP - it's biotechnology.
