Think of this; When God booted Adam from the Garden, he told him, “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread.” But here’s what should stop us cold: bread didn’t exist yet! Think about it. No millstones. No ovens. No delicious sour dough recipes. God referenced a technology that existed only in his mind, and it was only a matter of time until man discovered it. Proverbs 25:2 tells us, “God delights in concealing things; scientists delight in discovering things” (The Message). Every innovation like AI is a discovery, not an invention. We don’t create from nothing—only God does that.
Beliefs are aspirational in the same way that bread was aspirational before millstones existed — truths not yet realized but already implied. What people read is what they discover: ideas that have yet to be fully believed are like technologies that have yet to be invented. This suggests a posture of reverence toward what is not yet known, rather than skepticism — treating undiscovered understanding as something more than content to be consumed. editorial faith storytellingGod creates the blacksmith knowing full well the tool might be turned against him. He does it anyway. That’s not divine naivety—it’s staggering confidence in the redemptive arc he’s written into history. All of us can use AI to help others flourish.
