NOT, I repeat NOT, a liar for Jesus.

Oh boy, I wish all my allies would publish headlines like, "A liar for Jesus?" about me. That would really make me glad that they have my back.

The Underwhelming Creativity of Humans (but we love them anyway)

Brendan Dixon points out that the creativity exhibited by AI is underwhelming. This is true. Humans exhibit much more subtle creative abilities. https://mindmatters.ai/2019/05/the-underwhelming-creativity-of-ai/ You are right, for now, but do you have children? The 'creativity' of children is underwhelming too. It is often tiresome and boring. Children are this way for exactly the same reason that you identified for AI: all they can do is regurgitate.

But at least hey, if anyone reads this, maybe you will decide that you don't have to be quite that silly to be able to see that life was designed, and there is evidence for it.
