Something that strikes me about Genesis is that we follow several successive generations. It was one thing for Abraham to follow God, but it is impressive that Issac, then Jacob, and finally Joseph all carried on the walk.
Taking that idea a bit further, isn't it amazing that, here we are thousands of years later, and generation after generation, the walk continues?
So while the next generation may be a perpetual cause for concern, perhaps we only need to look back to take comfort in what lay ahead.
Human ambitionJune 17, 2008
Genesis chapter 11 tells the story of the tower of Babel. My NIV's commentary says:
People are ambitious -- they want to succeed. Genesis portrays humans as so ambitious that they try to compete with, rather than serve, God. This was Adam and Eve's sin (3:5,22), and at Babel people were at it again, in a citywide effort. God frustrated their plans by confusing their language.This casts an interesting light on the study of artificial intelligence... are ambitious computer scientists striving to compete with God?
This is a good reality check: There is no competing with God, only striving to comprehend and better appreciate His creation.
