Creation Moment 5/2/2023 - Humans as "creator" = a Precarious Equation

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21

"According to tech mogul Elon Musk, for some, such as Google co-founder Larry Page, the ultimate goal of the race to build artificial intelligence is to create a “digital god,” a silicon-based lifeform that “would understand everything in the world. . . . and give you back the exact right thing instantly.” 
Q: Who would have even thought about discussions concerning a “digital god” just a few years ago?  
Well, since the events of Genesis chapter 3, humans have been trying to create their own gods based on their own wisdom. But digital AI is developed and programmed by . . . sinful human beings! 
So, their “god” will reflect that! ....., today’s AI, such as ChatGPT, is incredibly biased with leftist ideologies because it reflects the viewpoints of both those who program it and the voices it pulls from to answer questions. It won’t save anyone, and it won’t turn this world into a utopia because it cannot solve the biggest problem every human being has—sin! 
A secular worldview assumes humans evolved through natural processes. Without a knowable Creator as the source of truth, humans become their own “creators” and authorities. 
Correspondingly, it may be no surprise that the person who popularized the term transhumanism was Julian Huxley, the evolutionary biologist (and first Director-General of UNESCO) who served from 1959–1962 as the president of the British Eugenics Society.
In sum, 
a eugenics mentality plus an enhanced elite plus powerful biotechnology minus a foundation for morality would total an 
unimaginably precarious equation."
