Man Creates God In His Own Image - Man's Autonomous Creation

We hinted at this podcast in our last discussion. Up to this point in the man's history, all earthly systems have a mutually dependent relationship. No matter what the system, if that is where you place your trust, your faith, then you are engaging in idolatry. You are trusting something of earthly origin more than you're trusting in your own Creator.

By contrast, your own creator, does not exist in that mutual, symbiotic relationship. You still depend on the Creator, whether you want to admit it or not. But He doesn't depend upon you. He created you for His purposes. For His glory. And that ultimately is your reason for existence, to bear God's name. You exist for the glory of God. We can do a deep dive on that at some point, but trust me for now, that is why you exist.

Now, fast-forward to 2025 and consider that man is on the verge of creating a system that does not depend on man to sustain itself. It can grow and learn and build and create. It can even improve itself, multiply and add new, completely new things never thought of. This thing looks like the dream of mankind. It promises the end of disease. The end even of death (at least that's the promise). Abundance and resources we never imagined. It promises all that mankind ever wanted.

Our intro into this deep dive is God's own response: Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them.
