AI and Public Theology

Last updated on: November 12, 2025 at 9:30 am By Ted Peters

Both Silicon Valley techies and public theologians register the same two fears about the future of AI technology: (1) Superintelligence might render the human race extinct, and (2) bad actors will get hold of AI technology and use it to dominate the world. The good news is that evangelical Christians, Jewish leaders, and the Vatican are constructing AI Ethics that could lead to legislative guardrails. Read more

The New Presidential Dollar?

Last updated on: December 11, 2025 at 9:04 pm By Ted Peters

Should the 47th president appear on a newly minted US dollar? Abraham Lincoln appeared on the penny because he stopped the Civil War. The current president is starting a civil war by sending the military into cities with Democratic mayors. Should we wait to see how he ends the war before putting his profile on a coin? Read more

UAP Hellfire? Otherworldly technology?

Last updated on: September 13, 2025 at 12:16 pm By Ted Peters

The recent attempt to shoot down a UFO by the US military off the coast of Yemen resulted in an astounding encounter between terrestrial technology and an uncanny superior technology of unknown origin. Might this incident fire up once again the ETI Myth, according to which more technologically advanced extraterrestrials are coming to Earth to -- what? -- save us from our own self-destruction?

Redeeming America Resources

Last updated on: December 17, 2025 at 11:37 am By Ted Peters

The road to "Renewing America" begins with a map of the destination. On that map we find a vision of an America firmly grounded in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. The regenerated American community will reaffirm our precious commitment to impartial justice, individual dignity, protection of rights, public safety, fostering freedom, welcoming immigrants, and governing with compassion. This Patheos post directs us toward resources such as column essays, research articles, editorial opinions, organizational statements, and creative new thinking regardless of venue. Read more

Is AI in the Image of God?

Last updated on: August 1, 2025 at 1:51 pm By Ted Peters

When we ask whether AI is in the image of God, we note that strong AI or AGI or even ASI will be human creations. Do we pass on the divine image we inherited from God? Or, will our progeny be created in our human image? Read more

Braden Molhoek on Free Will

Last updated on: July 3, 2025 at 11:51 am By Ted Peters

The knotty question of free will should avoid the extrreme contrast between total determinism and freedom without constraints. Our dialy experience of making free choices takes place within a finite set of constraints. These constraints are set by our biological inhheritance and our cultural environment. Deliberately cultivated habits such as virtues, even if the seem like they are on autopilot, still represent free will because we chose these habits. Read more

Is our free will really in jail?

Last updated on: June 28, 2025 at 5:16 pm By Ted Peters

Neurophilosophy based on neuroscience locks human free will up in a deterministic jail. The way to liberate free will is to define it as a form of determinism--that is, as self-determinism. Read more
