"THE THEOLOGIAN PERSPECTIVE: LIMITS OF TECHNOLOGY"

"With the rise of AI technology and talks of an AI race, it is disappointing that there has been an absence of theologians within the discussions of AI. Now some people view theologians as similar to mathematicians who focus on the abstract. At the same time, those who neglect the theologians struggle to understand the limits of technology. Bryan Johnson said: 'God didn't create us, we are creating God in our image by building superintelligent AI.' There are a lot of topics that theologians do need to discuss in response to the rise of technology such as the topic of the human intellect and the topic of the soul. What the theologian needs to affirm is that technology cannot become divine. If the transhumanist asks, 'Why?', Respond to him: Technology is a dependent existence where it requires space to exist. Something that exists in space must have length, meaning that thing is divisible which can be broken into parts which it depends on. The theologians themselves have said it is impossible for god to have a body. (When theologians are talking about a body they're talking about something that is at least composed of two particles). Technology can be classified as a body according to the theologians. Something that has a body has a size which can be conceivably smaller or larger and the specification of the size of that body requires a determiner. Meaning something that has a body needs God. If the transhumanist persists in spreading his doubts, ask him, 'Do you believe that a created thing can become uncreated?' Are you now aware of the irrational beliefs of the transhumanists?"
