Could you (if you have the time) elaborate briefly on the implication that this has for a relational view of the image of God. From what I understood - in the context of Foerst's relational concept of the image of God & man - it does not hold that we build the robots as 'man' (as God has created us) to simply co exist and share in our creation. Rather our reaction show that we build the beings to be divine; hence "we are to God as we are to A.I." I don't believe I fully understand and think I may have misinterpreted this. I would appreciate it if you could illuminate on this. <br /><br />Thanks in advance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705140919231236726.post-65102533745625618342010-04-12T03:46:11.475-07:002010-04-12T03:46:11.475-07:00I loved "The ways in which sci-fi provides re...I loved "<i>The ways in which sci-fi provides religious incentives...</i>.
