43:09 I see Scripture giving us not so much identifications 43:15 that you can absolutely say with precision what this is, right? But you can say with some 43:23 precision what it represents, what it stands for. 43:30 You see, people, Let me give you an example of that. People have speculated through history as to what the beast or 43:37 the monster is. And it's been almost everybody from the Popes to Hitler to um 43:43 Stalin to Mao, etc., etc. They're all interested in who it is. People don't 43:49 seem to be interested in what Scripture actually says. Scripture tells us what it is. 43:56 The number 666. It is the number of a man. That's the 44:02 hideous thing about it, scripture [Sic.] tells us exactly what it is. It's a human 44:07 being. And that's what's utterly scary about it. If you like, this is a human 44:13 being. And in the plain straightforward language of two Thessalonians, Paul told 44:20 young Christians that there'd be a man of lawlessness who would claim to be God. That fits in perfectly with it 44:28 seems to me the scenes in the book of Revelation.
And when contemporary 44:34 physicists and thinkers [Artificial Intelligence] are talking about this, 44:40 it's high time that we take seriously the Biblical 44:46 insight into it.
My argument is very simple and it's not, it doesn't arise 44:51 first in my book on Revelation. I wrote a book called ‘2084’, and in that book I said, Look, if we are 44:59 prepared to take seriously the kind of argument that Tegmark makes, 45:05 the irony of the whole thing 45:35 is, that this race for AI super intelligence, is the race to “make God and be God”. 45:46 The Biblical Message [however] is, God became human! It goes in the reverse 45:52 direction, and I think that's a very powerful idea, how AI changes what it means to be human!
Stop, Look,
We’re ‘talking’ “AI and How to know Scripture is God-Breathed”, in the light of “How the Biblical Message reveals” a “Word-based” universe and “Word-base” Christian Faith while, or in contrast with, or versus, ‘AI’, which is a ‘word-based’, supposed to be ‘Exact’, Information Technological ‘Science’. In other words, we are talking presumable improbability contra ostensible certainty, the outcome of which assumed resultant conflict, logically will not be in favour of presupposed improbability, on other words, of man, but has to result in favour of said manufactured scientific monster animal machine.
