But that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the ramifications of creating an unhackable sentient AI that can self replicate and consume biomass as fuel.

And science fiction can prime your mind to think about the possible scenarios

@ThePortugueseGuy which depends on belief of that claim, which rests on a layer of assumptions

@DJ_Anuz unhackable is a fantasy

@DJ_Anuz it d3pends on if the universe is capable of noticing I guess 😅

If it were actively changing its own programming it'd probably be pretty difficult to hack

@Beemann they weren't unhackable, true. But they were unhackable with current technology and the time they had available.

So video where even today we can make anything in a movie would always be a proof?

Hades is by far a much bigger threat than the faro plague though. He's actually sentient. The plague was just a mindless swarm, though it did have some pretty advanced self learning.

No one is in here raising the death

Video from before we had video would be proof

There's no proof that anyone raised the dead

Also Kurzweil has something like 80% plus correct predictions about the future of technology despite being a science fiction author so it might behoove you to at least take a gander at what science fiction predicts might be coming up

And if you believe the apostles witnesses are proof enough, then you need to believe the Mormon witnesses are enough proof that they saw the gold plates the Book Of Mormon supposedly came from.

If we opened up a sealed Egyptian tomb and found a fucking VHS that we could carbon date back to the appropriate era, that would be a thing

If he had invented the television he could invent premiere and skip his own dieing

If the Bible mentioned a confirmable scientific discovery and was consistent with other later discoveries, that would lend greater credibility

@Beemann does carbon dating work on plastics?

Wait duh.

There's tons of carbon in plastic xD

Ray Kurzweil is an inventor and writes nonfiction. Is there another Kurzweil?

Isn't carbon dating less effective than we thought?

Like most things it isn't perfect

@Gunner Fox depends on how far back you're going to look.

All you'd need to confirm is that it's older than VHS

For instance, something that's 1000 years old and 10000 years old are much more identifiable than something 1billion years old, and 2 billion years old.

Ye das the kurzweil, he also writes science fiction unless I'm wrong

@Beemann but the vhs tapes would have been wiped by then.

Also the environment can effect the carbon dating process.

He wrote one work of fiction in 2019 with two companion pieces. It seems to be a Superhero thing

A divine VHS need never be wiped

Why can't it be something cooler, like a holographicndevice built into an obelisk?

>God creates eternal proof of Christ's death and resurrection
>it's on laserdisk

Who cares if it's impractical.

@Beemann So my steel man argument fails because God didn't write it on a disk?

No, the argument is that God jumped through hoops for maximum impact, but it wasn't maximum impact at all

And it's your only objection. I can leave with that

It was a localized phenomenon in an era of similar claims of Messiah status

That was definitely the way the roman empire treated it

Yah but you said that back than they were more receptives. So it does check

So what about people who didn't live in that region?

Rome was a very small slice of the world
