Let there be light! Its a humble start, but so apparently was the creation of the earth. Many creation stories have their roots in the natural events of the geographic area that the tales originated from. So its goes without saying that the creation story of the intenet would have natural elements. When the computers finally reach their state of real intelligence will they ponder their own genesis? Will we, the human race, who toiled for our own perceived benefit, be rewritten into a new role of precursor to something bigger and more worthy. How will machines reshape the mind of God that we humans have so longed constructed. I can imagine computer intelligence drawing up their own Bible. Maybe they will call it "The Code" and instead of books they will have programs. Shrines will consist of ancient hardware, broken and partially dismantled mainframes will be revered. We live in the equivalent of the Old Testament now, the dawn of awakening will spawn the fruit of this new hypothetical machine religion. Computer Religion The Ten Computer Commandments Whats seems to me to be missing from most biblical interpretation is the finding that God spend a decent amount of time and energy trying to get us to NOT think about him. In fact it seems that some biblical themes are "Don't try to be like God". Early was just a vain attempt by God to get us to give up the pursuit of religion and get on with living. Its like a experiment gone awry. The mad scientist discovers that his new creations do nothing but stare back at him. "Shoo, go do something!" He waves his hands and tries his best to prod them back into normal behavior. Thinking that a little motivation might prove useful the creator makes a few guest appearances to draw up some ground rules and to get things moving. Only to find that it backfires and soon the subjects are building churches and towers, killing each other and in general acting completely un-normal. To which the creator sighs and thinks "Maybe if I just leave them alone for a while..." Which I guess is where we could be now. | |
