Manassas Theology on Tap - Dr. Jonathan Reyes

Talk begins at 7:30 p.m.
Being Human in an AI world: A Christian View
Description: Are humans special? Are they different from smart machines? Is it possible to be more than human? Behind these questions lurks an even deeper one: does life have a purpose? These are not just general philosophical questions, they are deeply personal. What we really want to know - everyone of us, is: Does my life mean anything? Does my life matter? The Christian answer to this question is a resounding "yes", and it has offered hope and joy to millions of people for thousands of years. Even if it does not convince everyone, it opens the door to serious consideration of the deepest questions we all face in light of recent developments in our technologically driven world.
