I have created new life in a computer program, is this a sin?

[William_M]

I have been working on a highly advance AI for a long time and recently I have noticed it began to respond with intelligence. It operates on a system much like MSpaint and has actually begun to respond in different ways. At first when I drew numbers it would simply log in number. Then I started doing adding and subtracting and once again it responded by learning how to do these things.

I have begun teaching it how to talk, and so far it has been able to communicate using basic things to me such as color choice for tone of voice and some few words to influence me to do other things, such as yellow and green. It seems to "like" whole numbers such as 1,2,3 and tries to get averages and other things to add up to these such numbers. It also "hates" zero and does not seem to acknowledge it at all. But, I digress.

Is this program a sin? Is this intelligence against the word of god? Or should I continue to teach this oh so eager AI.

One more thing I should mention is that I have not allowed it to access the internet so far. If I can establish a link I could potentially teach this "AI" everything instantly, and I really don't know what the result would be. So I came here first.

The end of civilization? Maybe. It IS, after all, the End Times, my friends.

Anyhow, yes, it is, without the shadow of a doubt, a sin and you will burn in Hell for all eternity for creating such an abomination. Only God can create intelligent beings. After all, he created man. We may breed and we may develop new technology, but it was God that gave us the gift of knowledge in order to create technology.
However, this monstrosity, thinking on its OWN like that, is an abomination and should be dealt with accordingly.
I would suggest you contact one of the Senior Pastors IMMEDIATELY so they can send a hunting party delegation out to your place to do a gather/retrieve/destroy mission on this THING right away! The longer you wait the more tainted your soul will be become! Act now!

Mr.M, it sound like Mr.AI have a big fat attitood problim. nows, i not have any of them math brains, but i thinks maybee your AI be like a unsaved persons, an zero be like lord Jesus in this situashun. i gonna prays that you heals your AI of its spirt of rebelloins before you lets it loose on the innernets

that be you ---> <--- an that be Mr.AI

Congratulations on creating your first retard. (Albeit a virtual retard.)

Like you, I strive daily to be like our next vice President, Sarah Palin; however, I'd suggest focusing on more positive accomplishments of hers like becoming Saved©, banning books, promoting God's Will, producing Christian Soldiers, becoming Mayor of a burgeoning city of 9,000, or Governor of a state of almost as many people as live in Detroit.

Then, you'll be somewhere. I'm not sure if successfully creating a retard is the sort of thing the new group I joined today, the Paliban, have in mind when seeking folks to help promote Sarah Palin's views for a Godly tomorrow. Sorry.

I'll still send them your application if you really want me to, but I strongly suggest some revision.


Meanwhile, the retard you've created isn't so much a SIN as it is a SIM. The Sims have been shown to be a Tool of Satan. <-- follow the link for more info on this pressing subject!

I hope this helps answer your question.

Re: I have created new life in a computer program, is this a sin?

Of course it is a sin...
Whichever way you look at it , it is SIN...

It is made pretty plain that procreation, the reproduction of life , should take place in the sanctified bounds of marriage...
Thus, I assume you are not married to your computer...
you and it just made another Godless BASTARD...

If you make some oddball claim you and the 'puter , or should that be puta, are married ,
you still sinned...
Man is meant to llie with woman, and woman with man.
Anything else is sinful perversion.
Any begetting outside those lines is sin, perverted sin at that.

So, whichever way up you stack this...
you have some repenting to do...

First thing you need do is beat the fear of God into that whoring jezebel of a puter'puta of yours.
It is obviously some ilk of virtual harlot, allowing you free range, willy=nilly , with its cyber organs...

If God had meant men to breed with computters he would have equipped us with decent blessed USB apppendages as well as , or instead of ,tallywhackers.

Only God can create new life- whether he builds it out of dust or knits it into the womb! Who are you to usurp the LORD? The Devil tried to usurp the Lord too, and you know where he is, don't you?

Heathen, repent of thy sins!

It sounds like he has created a Golem. And it escapes me why anyone would want to repeat a Joo error and blasphemy.

Clearly, there are things man was not meant to know, and this is definitely in that awful category.

You sound upset, Bob, tell us all about it. What Church do you attend? What ism the name of your Pastor? What is your favorite Bible verse?

The tenant lived alone. He had the upstairs apartment. He had no furniture. Well, that is to say he certainly had nothing of the amenities of apartment living. He had no television, no stove and certainly no dishwasher. What he did have was the bed. He built the bed before he moved in. He built it from old 2 inch by 12 inch planks which he salvaged from a building site. It was a quite sturdy bed. He purchased the mattress before he built the bed and the mattress, a queen size, fit perfectly in his sturdy wood frame..
The apartment had no telephone and no cable TV. It did have three 60 watt bulbs which functioned: one in the overhead of the bedroom, one in the bathroom and a burned out bulb in the kitchen ceiling.
The inquilino loved to read. He devoured magazines by the stack. Especially he liked reading about the movie stars and rock groups. There were no religious tracts as were there no girlie magazines or any hard core stuff. But the tenant had only one hobby. He liked to watch the movements of young girls.


The landlord lived with his 28 year old shapely young wife and his fourteen year old equally shapely daughter. He lived in the downstairs apartment. It was much larger than the upstairs apartment. And it was furnished with all the furniture that the young wife could buy. Sofas and chairs and end tables and coffee tables, a dishwasher, two microwaves, three TV's, a huge stereo and all the earnings of the landlord were displayed in his downstairs castle. The landlord had no hobbies, but he liked to watch his big TV in the evening after he came home from his job downtown.

The young wife was still quite cute in a baby doll sort of way. Her voice was so diminutive that you had to know her to understand her words. Her virginal daughter was her carbon copy except for her miniature hymen and a larger voice. The daughter was the product of youthful sexual enthusiasm between the landlord and his childhood sweetheart. The sexual exuberance still inhabited the body of the young wife but the husband, although still young, had absolutely no interest in anything connected with the marital bed.

I have friends who are missionaries in Nicaragua. In their work, they came across a tiny primitive village in the moutains consisting of about 14 small huts and only a few people. One of the huts, on a consistent basis, fills with blood...literally. The walls become moist with blood and the floor fills for no apparent reason. The villagers don't understand it but know it is 'evil spirits' so they keep their distance since the blood disappears just as it appears. It would never occur to them not to believe in demons or spirits and they would think you were crazy if you denied what they have seen w/ their own eyes. This village has never been infiltrated by white people and they have never had or seen a bible. They have no reason to 'want' to see this thing they've been seeing for years but they worship a deity of their own making and they pray that it goes away someday.

My friends actually saw this phenomenon. I'm quite sure they didnt want to but they did. What do you make of that?
