I am currently taking a class for college that discusses computer literacy. In this class I am to do a research paper on computer on Artificial Intelligence. The findings that lead me to posting this blog were not so good for mankind's future. The class that I am taking lead to these questions about Singularity. What is singularity? What will happen according to the Holy Bible when singularity is completed? According to Mcternan, Singularity is, "The merging of man's biological thinking and existence with technology to the point there is no distinction between human and machines (2010, para 39)."

The Terminator a Non-Fiction character is a perfect example of biologically combining man with machine. Anyone who has common sense can notice the predictions that past non-fiction movies have made about technology. They are becoming reality. Technology is multiplying exponentially and is predictable.
This brings me to mention Kevin Warwick.
Revelation 13:16 It also forced all people, great and small,
rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,....This is the man who has already inserted a computer chip into his right wrist and wants to create a worldwide network of a type of communication which takes the middleman being the computer out of the equation. The chip that he created can be used to control prosthesis in people with missing limbs. It not only for the purpose he says it is for. Is Warwick the second beast talked about in the Bible? If he is, "Who is the first? Will this trigger the second coming of Jesus Christ? We will never know.
Mathew 24:36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father (NIV).
His ultimate goal is to biologically combine humans and computers creating what we call a Cyborg. A Cyborg is basically a "Bionic Man". Combining our human body with computer components such as chips and electrodes then combining them with brain cells. His plan is to link everyone to the worldwide web and share our thoughts etc. Sort of like the social web but on a whole different level. He also discredited the human being by saying the way people communicate is pathetic and it is time for a new revolution. Watch this video

Mouse brain is combined
with a machine.
At the center of this computer
chip is where the brain is fused
to the electrodes.

He has also took a slide containing electrodes and combining it with mice brain cells. He would feed these brain cells with nutrients in which will fuse to these electrodes like tentacles creating a brain

This man is trying to take what God has given us. He is trying to discredit God and pretty much saying we do not need you anymore, we are the creator now.
Revelation 13:6 He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven (NIV). You can tell that he is obsessed with doing this and wants to make it happen in the future.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (NIV). Does this scripture give permission for us to create life just as God created us? Are we getting a misinterpreting of the Bible? After all he created us in his image not physically but spiritually and mentally. According to McTernan, "God created man in His likeness or image, hence a representative figure. The Bible makes it clear that God does not have blood body, but the way that man makes him in the likeness God (2011, para 45)." Many people think this will make God upset and trigger something phenomenal. We will just have to see what the future brings.
Can this be the start of singularity?
What are your opinions on this matter?
Has Singularity Started?
You be the judge of that.
