Who will give evolution its God? If you are not ready to step up to that challenge, yur God is too small. Faith in the modern world is about the God who is, not the God who was. God of the living, not of the dead. The God who identifies as "I am that Always Was and Always Will Be." God is Being, not a being, but Being that is Open.
God is an incomprehensible mystery that attracts even as it is elusive. God cannot be proved or disproved. The name of God literally means I am. God is depth of Being, infinite Being, depth of goodness, order, beauty and truth. We dwell in the Being of God. This is the truth that Teilhard de Chardin called the Divine Milieu.
Religion binds us to this a belief in the mystery that is beyond all telling, and to others who live attentively in an infinitely deep love of the unknown. We see the imperfect of what is and what has been, and we hope for a future that fulfills our deepest hopes and dreams for a happy fulfilled life, not just for ourselves, but for all of life.
God is the infinite possibility of the Revelation that is to come. Christianity is about a future promised that is already in our midst. We are asked to consider the overflow of life that arises from the fullness of Being that is God.
Religion cannot be constrained by technology. Religion is a vital part of transforming our historical heritage of imagery in art and literature into images that convey the divine mystery unfolding during all life. Technology without God, without religion, will not have order, goodness, beauty and truth.
Without God, our technological future will be chaotic, unkind, ugly and fake. Does artificial intelligence have to be fake hopeless, Godless intelligence? Why can't out technological future have divine purpose and an inner goodness? How can we co-create a technological future that has humility, generosity and divine insight?
