Today is a memorable one for our family. Over four decades ago the number of members was increased by one. It happened about 5:00 am on a Friday morning. After a few hours of pain on my part, the most wonderful sound announced her arrival. The nature of the gift of God would be revealed over many years: the person created before she was in her mother’s womb only known fully to the Creator Himself, no small miracle, entrusted to us for a while.
Unrepeatable, not a clone, unlike her parents or anyone else on the face of the earth. Brought forth from a thought of the Almighty, the totally Real Intelligence, made in His likeness and image. Contrast this with the robot type of Artificial Intelligence, one unable to love, appreciate beauty, feel, hope… Soldiers without hearts, empty, artificial. Even if it were possible to produce something that looks, talks, walks, plays chess, it is not meant to be eternal as a child is; there is no love, no mother or father, an empty shell full of nothingness. No contest.
Are not five sparrows sold for a two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12: 6-7
Nice comparison
