Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Does God Think about Technology? From smartphones to self-driving cars to space travel, new technologies can inspire us. But the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? And how does God relate to our most powerful innovators? To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world's discoveries are divinely orchestrated. Ultimately, what we believe about God determines how we respond to human invention. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels twelve common myths in the church and offers fourteen ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.

Book Synopsis The Technology of God by : Aleya Annaton
Download or read book The Technology of God written by Aleya Annaton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Technology of God is a science fiction metaphysical thriller, based on the real life theory of award-winning physicist Nassim Haramein. This unification theory is rocking the world of science and religion as it offers a complete scientific understanding of both the physical and spiritual expressions of creation. Aleya Annaton, Emissary of Haramein?s Resonance Project Foundation, has masterfully woven the elements of this profound new understanding of our universe into a thrilling romantic adventure. The story is set in a near future America, controlled by an extreme fundamentalist religious faction that has taken over the government. Physicist Dr. Alex Harmon, along with his colleague and lover, the beautiful Sydney Stewart, are seeking a theory that would unlock the secrets of creation? a forbidden subject under the new religious law. Believing the physics of space-time was encoded into the world?s religious traditions, they set out to decipher clues passed down in manuscripts, secret societies, and monuments around the world. When they discover the universe works in ways contrary to mainstream science as well as the prevailing religious doctrine, they are thrust into the crosshairs of the tyrannical leader of the new religious state. As they set out to build a technology to access a mysterious realm they believe underlies all of physical creation, they must negotiate a world of political intrigue, ancient initiation, love, betrayal and contact with Beings from other worlds. What they find at the end of their quest is no less than the answers to the most intriguing questions man has pondered since he first gazed at the stars."--
Book Synopsis God, Human, Animal, Machine by : Meghan O'Gieblyn
Download or read book God, Human, Animal, Machine written by Meghan O'Gieblyn and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strikingly original exploration of what it might mean to be authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence, from the author of the critically-acclaimed Interior States. • "At times personal, at times philosophical, with a bracing mixture of openness and skepticism, it speaks thoughtfully and articulately to the most crucial issues awaiting our future." —Phillip Lopate “[A] truly fantastic book.”—Ezra Klein For most of human history the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence—identity, knowledge, the very nature and purpose of life itself—urgently require rethinking. Meghan O'Gieblyn tackles this challenge with philosophical rigor, intellectual reach, essayistic verve, refreshing originality, and an ironic sense of contradiction. She draws deeply and sometimes humorously from her own personal experience as a formerly religious believer still haunted by questions of faith, and she serves as the best possible guide to navigating the territory we are all entering.
Book Synopsis God and the Chip by : William A. Stahl
Download or read book God and the Chip written by William A. Stahl and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-08-03 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our ancestors saw the material world as alive, and they often personified nature. Today we claim to be realists. But in reality we are not paying attention to the symbols and myths hidden in technology. Beneath much of our talk about computers and the Internet, claims William A. Stahl, is an unacknowledged mysticism, an implicit religion. By not acknowledging this mysticism, we have become critically short of ethical and intellectual resources with which to understand and confront changes brought on by technology.

Download or read book The Digital God written by William Indick and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As humans charge up the steep slope of technological innovation, digital age media increasingly shapes our perception of everything--even spiritual matters. The next stage of spiritual development may be the product of a digital interface between our own image of the divine, virtual reality technology that produces real perceptions, and with devices that stimulate areas of the brain associated with spiritual experience. This book explores the influence of digital media on spirituality and the impact of the digital environment on our experience of the spiritual world. The author predicts a future in which digital technology and neuroscience will combine to create a new understanding of the divine.

Download or read book God and Gadgets written by Brad J. Kallenberg and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies are deeply embedded in the modern West. What would our lives be like without asphalt, glass, gasoline, electricity, window screens, or indoor plumbing? We naturally praise technology when it is useful and bemoan it when it is not. But there is much more to technology than the usefulness of this or that artifact. Unfortunately, we tend not to consider the inherently social and moral character of technology. As a result, we are prone to overlook the effects of technology on our spiritual lives. This book investigates the role technology plays in helping and hampering our Christian practice and witness.

Download or read book Google Is God written by Benton Fazzolari and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God died in 1882. Nietzsche declares Him dead. Who replaces God when God dies? The answer to this question requires a look into who murdered God and by what means. Did Philosophy murder God? Was it Science that murdered God? Was it both? The Death of God opens a space for a new God to reign over the earth. This new God is Google. Google is God! But since God died, will Google eventually meet its own death? Will God die again? This book aims to answer these questions through an analysis of the psychological drives to create God and then subsequently murder Him, only to create a new one. A careful examination of the death of God and the advent of the New God illuminates the prospect of the eventual second death of God. A close reading of contemporary Google media illustrates Google¿s efforts to cover the globe with its image and thereby create a homogenized global population of Google people. What Christianity could not do, Google can do. Then one day when humans are pushed to absolute irrelevancy, no one will be there to sense Google.

Within a few years of its unveiling, the smartphone had become part of us, fully integrated into the daily patterns of our lives. Never offline, always within reach, we now wield in our hands a magic wand of technological power we have only begun to grasp. But it raises new enigmas, too. Never more connected, we seem to be growing more distant. Never more efficient, we have never been more distracted. Drawing from the insights of numerous thinkers, published studies, and his own research, writer Tony Reinke identifies twelve potent ways our smartphones have changed us—for good and bad. Reinke calls us to cultivate wise thinking and healthy habits in the digital age, encouraging us to maximize the many blessings, to avoid the various pitfalls, and to wisely wield the most powerful gadget of human connection ever unleashed.

Book Synopsis God & Golem, Inc. by : Norbert Wiener
Download or read book God & Golem, Inc. written by Norbert Wiener and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1966-03-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new and rapidly growing field of communication sciences owes as much to Norbert Wiener as to any one man. He coined the word for it—cybernetics. In God & Golem, Inc., the author concerned himself with major points in cybernetics which are relevant to religious issues.The first point he considers is that of the machine which learns. While learning is a property almost exclusively ascribed to the self-conscious living system, a computer now exists which not only can be programmed to play a game of checkers, but one which can "learn" from its past experience and improve on its own game. For a time, the machine was able to beat its inventor at checkers. "It did win," writes the author, "and it did learn to win; and the method of its learning was no different in principle from that of the human being who learns to play checkers. A second point concerns machines which have the capacity to reproduce themselves. It is our commonly held belief that God made man in his own image. The propagation of the race may also be interpreted as a function in which one living being makes another in its own image. But the author demonstrates that man has made machines which are "very well able to make other machines in their own image," and these machine images are not merely pictorial representations but operative images. Can we then say: God is to Golem as man is to Machines? in Jewish legend, golem is an embryo Adam, shapeless and not fully created, hence a monster, an automation.The third point considered is that of the relation between man and machine. The concern here is ethical. "render unto man the things which are man's and unto the computer the things which are the computer's," warns the author. In this section of the book, Dr. Wiener considers systems involving elements of man and machine. The book is written for the intellectually alert public and does not involve any highly technical knowledge. It is based on lectures given at Yale, at the Société Philosophique de Royaumont, and elsewhere.

Book excerpt: With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions.

Turning the notion of "playing God" on its head, Crouch celebrates power as the gift by which we join in God's creative, redeeming work in the world.
