The Conversation Has Already Begun

Every revolution begins with a question nobody asked out loud. The agricultural revolution changed what humans did with their hands. The industrial revolution changed what humans did with their time. The digital revolution changed what humans did with their attention.

The AI revolution is changing something more fundamental: what humans believe about their own minds.

Before we ask what AI will become — before we debate regulation, ethics, copyright, consciousness — we have to return to a prior question. What does it mean to be human?

Genesis 1 begins not with a problem to be solved but with a declaration: human beings are made in the image of God. That image — that imago dei — is not a function. It is not productivity, intelligence, or efficiency. It is something given. Something prior to performance.

John 1 begins not with a creature but with the Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Language, meaning, intelligence — these are not human inventions. They flow from something beyond us.

This is where the series begins. Not with fear of machines. Not with hype about superintelligence. With the oldest question: Who are we?
