The Sphere – Postcard from Earth (A Modern Idol of sorts – my review)

This video (Postcard from earth) and theater (The Sphere) was awesome and well done in so many ways.

However, there was one huge flaw: it is impossible for life to create itself, as claimed in this video. Only God can do that, which He did as recorded in the Book of Genesis. The people who left Earth to create new a new life far away is a super story but if they had this technology to a new lush beautiful life from an unfriendly environment why couldn’t they just fix Earth?

Another point that I didn’t care for is the theme: ‘humans’ are bad’. Yes, we have our flaws but most people are innately good, or at least want to be and do good. It is sad that say, ‘only a few can return and visit or stay.

They also teach the evolution of life, the Earth and people as science and not theory, which is flawed. Oh sure, there is evolution, the micro kind but NOT the micro that created something incredibly complex from something simple, actually something from nothing. Try that. It is hard to build something huge and complex but try it with nothing, no resources, no money, no nothing as God did. He spoke it all into existence. Now that is something! Something incredible.

The evolutionary tale usurps scientific reason and most certainly God’s role.

The Bible teaches that 1 day to God is a 1,000 years to man and vice-versa. Time can speed up or slow down based on speed, as Einstein theorized. Since God is not limited by the physical nature of the universe (i.e. physics), time is irrelevant to Him. Because the Bible doesn’t specifically say otherwise, I am good with the 7 days of creation as literal 24-hour days. However, it won’t wreck my faith the slightest if each day represents an age of time.

Prior to the Great Flood of Noah’s age, the Earth had a different type of atmosphere. It has never rained as we know it. People had lived much longer than they do today. It is quite possible that the dramatic changes, changed everything and are throwing off modern science.

AI is a technology. Like any tech, it can be used or abused. I have no doubt it will be much of both. Many modern wonders will be accomplished by AI yet many will worship and usurp it for God Himself.

Yes, some will worship theses modern idols. They are more advanced than the ancient one because they can talk and walk, but they do NOT, nor never, have a soul. They do not posses the breath of life flowing from their lungs, heart and throughout.

”Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance?

Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is
no breath in it at all.”

But the Lord is in His holy temple;
let all the earth be silent before Him.“

‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭BSB‬‬

For God won’t be mocked, at least for long.

This Scripture, along with all of it, is still true. It shall never change. It is sad more so as humans think they got it all figured out. Who needs God when you got technology?

We need God. Everyone needs God for we were designed for Him and to be like Him.

Head – Hearts – Hands

Mind – Soul – Body

Father – Son – Spirit

Three in one, one of three.

The choice is yours, choose wisely.
