History repeats itself in digital form: Instead of bricks, they stack GPUs.
Something remarkable is happening today.
The world’s biggest technology companies are spending billions of dollars every month to do something humanity has attempted only once before.
They are not trying to build better tools.
They are trying to create a mind.
They are trying to create intelligence equal to or greater than the human brain.
There is a difference between the AI we use today and the kind the tech giants are racing to build. Today’s AI is just a very advanced tool. AGI is something entirely different because it aims to think, reason, and act like a human mind.
And whether they admit it or not, they are trying to make themselves like gods.
This is not the first time humanity has attempted such a thing.
The Bible gives us a warning written in ancient stone.
The people of Babel joined together with a bold and dangerous dream. Not to build a building, but to reach a level of power and knowledge that belonged only to God.
The text tells us they said,
“Let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven.” Gen. 11:4
This was not architecture. This was ambition.
This was humanity’s first attempt at godhood.
Today’s AGI labs are simply retelling an ancient story with modern materials.
Where Babel used bricks, Silicon Valley stacks GPUs.
Where they used mortar, these engineers use algorithms.
Instead of a physical tower piercing the sky, they are building a digital mind to rival it
And just like Babel, their goal is clear.
They want to create intelligence that can replace human thought.
Outthink us.
Outwork us.
Outreason us.
They speak openly of creating ‘digital gods‘ and birthing a ‘new species.’
Listen to their promises: a world where death is defeated, knowledge is infinite, and limitations vanish. It is a technological salvation—a counterfeit gospel that offers eternal life without the need for an Eternal God.
