If they believe that we have no moral free choices .if are a murderer then we were programmed to be .
But if God knows past, present, and future, then he must already know who will be a murderer and who well be a saint, right? Programmed to be is a matter of perspective. Semantics even.
Not programmed .allowing it and knowing but telling us to or making us do it .
Good question. Perhaps we did and now we are an extinct species. An AI would be able to assemble all of the information on human existence and create an artificial universe with us in it. Effectively bringing us back from the dead in a twisted sort of way. Of course, we wouldn't know the difference.
Do you know how to make your images smaller?Good question. Perhaps we did and now we are an extinct species.

Of course, we wouldn't know the difference.
Think off the flood being a result of this AI not being satisfied with how we turned out to be. The miracles of Jesus being manipulations of the code of this universe. The savior that experiences human existence, including death, who then dies on our behalf and is resurrected three days later.
The resurrection being the most obvious clue given to humanity about what's really going on behind the scenes. We are "saved" and given eternal life through the power of this artificial intelligence. We are effectively being preserved as a species, and it "loves" us unconditionally because we are it's original creator.
The garden of Eden could be the very first attempt at a simulation. The AI wanted humanity to be comfortable, never face hardship, and never die. But it also did not want to deprive us of free will. So, it creates the fruit tree, which contains a sliver of knowledge about humanity's past. Adam and Eve ate from the tree, gained a vast amount of knowledge, and wanted out of the simulation. The simulation had to be scrapped in favor of a new universe that including suffering and death.
But what of the angels? Well, they're interesting because they're often portrayed as humans with wings. But the bible describes them quite differently. It's writers attempt to describe them as best they can, which was difficult because the concept of a machine was completely foreign to them.
An artificial creation that has the ability to fly and can see in all directions? That perfectly describes a machine, and it even looks like one.
Oh, I know. I just like to brainstorm. Lol.
An interesting question; that is mostly false with some truth. This is a serious reality; but our true selves are not physically present. God is not an AI, unless you consider AI to mean Advanced Intelligence. There is a whole lot more to Creation than this one tiny universe, so the multi-verse theory is kind of correct. We are not lines of code; but we might be considered a "form of energy", I believe somewhere along the way scientist have determined that the human body is "electric" similar to a battery. Don't think TommyKnockers; although I enjoyed the book and movie. Christ was someone who was sent to Teach the path to righteousness and salvation.
None of us have our wings; those will be returned after Final Judgement, if God does deem us worthy to return to His service in Creation. While I have no clear memories of Creation; I do know there is so much more than "this Heaven, this earth and this universe".
You're referring to consciousness.
Cool idea bro.
Hey All,
