Showing results for "The Divines" in Science & Religion

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image.

Bradley Sickler offers a timely theological, scientific, and philosophical analysis of cognitive science, arguing that the brain is more complex than what can be explained by science alone. Navigating questions about the brain, religion, and science, Sickler guides listeners to confidently affirm that the Christian worldview offers the most compelling vision of the true nature of humanity.

From the moment of creation to the emergence of a planet tailor-made for life, science tells a sacred story: a superintelligent Creator used His mathematical genius to convert lifeless equations into galaxies, planets, and people. His love has been visible throughout the process. Could our journey reflect thousands of random accidents with no divine guidance? Creation delivered impulses that filled the universe with galaxies and stars. Eliminate any one of those blueprints and the universe would have been stillborn.

This work delves into the correspondence between Isaac Orobio de Castro and Jan Bredenburg, highlighting the superiority of classical philosophy over the flawed reasoning influenced by Spinoza's ideas. Through meticulous logical analysis, Orobio exposes the inherent contradictions in modern philosophical materialism. He argues that Spinoza and his contemporaries disguise a new pantheistic atheism that replaces God with "Nature," relying on sophisms that ignore the common foundations of logic, grammar, metaphysics, and ontology.
