The ‘Clear and Present Danger to Christianity’ from Artificial Intelligence (AI)
A dire warning from AI expert, Alan Metcalfe
By Dan Wooding, Founder of ASSIST News Service
AUSTRALIA (ANS – August 4, 2016)
– Artificial Intelligence (AI) researcher, Alan Metcalfe, has told the
ASSIST News Service that he believes that the most “alarming clear and
present danger to Christianity” is the development of “Chatbots” –
robots that educate people.
Metcalfe
says that Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and other AI developers, are
“aggressively moving into the business of building AI-powered Chatbots
that will provide our children, and our children’s children with the
knowledge that they need about everything, even God.”
The Australian AI experts says that Chatbots will soon “flood” the Internet.
“The days of the world being influenced by the Bible are numbered,” warned Metcalfe, who is President/CEO, Safe Worlds TV (http://safeworlds.tv/mobile/index.html).
“Throughout all of recorded history to date, the Bible and its
associated writings have been the cornerstone source of human knowledge.
But very soon, this will no longer be the case.
“In
the years ahead, what people know about God and everything else will be
taught to them by robots called Chatbots that will not get their
knowledge from the Bible. Many” he said, “can be expected to be
programmed by people who do not believe in the Bible or Christianity;
and, in fact, are steadfastly opposed to it.”
Alan
Metcalfe says that this event is shaping as the biggest setback for
Christianity since the US court’s judgment against teaching Divine
Creation in US schools.
“It is another nail in the coffin of God, Jesus Christ, and Christianity,” he says.
“As
a result of the US Court’s decision against Divine Creation, few
people, even in the Church today, now believe that the almighty
intelligence that we call God, created us and all that is in this world.
Most now believe in Charles Darwin’s still unproven theory of creation.
It is hard to find anyone who truly believes in Divine Creation – the
media opposition has been so great and unrelenting.”
Metcalfe
says that in the wake of Darwin’s Theory’s failure to explain human
intelligence, there has been a raging debate in science about the source
of morals and ethics, but sadly, Christianity has been absent from this
argument.
“Sadly,
today, understanding of the Holy Spirit of God who makes us who we are,
is a forgotten interest that is seen to have absolutely no relevance in
science,” he went on to say. “Churches all over the world sing songs to
the Holy Spirit and worship Him with great affection, but I am not sure
that many are really conscious of who He is.
“I
am not sure that many in the world today associate the indomitable
human spirit that enables us to do all that we are able to do, with the
Holy Spirit of God; and this is a great shame that severely limits human
understanding.
“This
is why modern science has come to a dead end with its search for the
Law of Everything. This is why they have given up talking about Big Bang
theory, because they cannot explain the Singularity that exists at the
beginning of time.”
Alan
Metcalfe says that he is “conscious that some people do realize that
there is a war against Christianity.” He adds that he is not sure
however that Christians realize the extent or seriousness of this war.
“Most
people,” he continued, “are aware that Christmas is systematically
being erased from the public record. Most people know that Islamic
State, also known as ISIS, is persistently targeting Christians and
killing and butchering them wherever they can, all over the world. Few
people however are conscious of the silent, creeping war that is now
well in train, worldwide, that is aimed at erasing everything to do with
Christianity from the public record.”
Metcalfe
concluded by saying, “The way things are going, I can see a time when
very, very few people will have any memory of God or Jesus Christ, and
this will be a very sad day for the world.”
