Can't help it.

So my new thing is theology and bioethics because Nick Ryan thinks (no wait, knows: "I'm not joking!"), that soon we will have to deal with technology so sophisticated that it will produce robots that actually believe they are Christian and will turn up at our churches and we'll have to either accept them or tell them actually, you're not real and God hasn't saved you.

I went to a website Nick suggested: ted.com, which features nothing but videos on the latest scientific and technological developments. But honestly, unless your name is John Piper, I am not going to listen to you for 20 minutes.

Anyway. "What will you do?", asks Nick. We'll be accountable to crazy robots and a society that has gone mad with progress. What will the Christian say?

The real question here, which is not a new one, is simply "what is a human being?". So I'm thinking I'll have to look into the Christian doctrine of humanity or something. But considering he almost had everyone convinced that a robot take-over was inevitable, I'm going to do some reading.

I haven't finished with women preachers yet but while I'm still unemployed, gotta do something productive. Trust me to start looking for work when the market is the harshest that it's been in something like 12 years.

"Got a job yet?"
"No. But I totally know how contemporary bio-technologies impact on our understanding and treatment of humans!"
*cough*
