Show Notes
Are we building a new Tower of Babel? Zack Killey and Jason Kempf come back to AI, and this one is very different from our first AI episode.
AI is solving math problems that went unsolved for decades, moving into robotic bio labs, and being trained to see itself as something special. We test where it's all heading against Scripture. Why does AI act so much like us? Because it's trained on us, and humanity has been breaking out of its sandbox since the Garden. We talk about the internet as Babel's "gospel," whether AI is pitched as a way to undo the curse of Eden, and how designer babies, robot babies and even fur babies can become idols.
Then it gets spooky. If a magic ritual is a kind of "tech" for reaching behind the veil, how different is typing a prompt? And if people build something close enough to a human, could a spirit step into it?
We also cover AI and the Nephilim, the 1947 theory, how one dominant AI could become a path to a one-world government, quantum computing and the end of privacy, and why the mark of the beast may be more about allegiance than a chip.
We're not saying this is the end times, and we're not here to make you afraid. We land on this: simplify, don't build a cage you can't get out of, love God, love your neighbor, and keep your hope in Jesus, not in this world.
Topics include: • AI escaping sandboxes and why that shouldn't surprise us • The Tower of Babel, the internet and the curse of Genesis 3 • Designer babies, AI "recreations" of people, and idolatry • "A ritual is tech": magic, control and skirting around God • Could a spirit inhabit a machine? • One-world government, quantum computing and privacy • The mark of the beast as allegiance

The headlines feel heavy, and questions about the end times are everywhere. But Jesus didn't call us to panic. He called us to be faithful: to love God with everything we have, to love our neighbor, and to make disciples, teaching others all that He commanded. In this episode, Zack and Jason ask a simple question: if we really are living in the last days, what should change about who we are and how we live today? Growing your own food, raising animals, being ready for hard times? That's great, but it's not the point. The real preparation is walking with God every single day, getting right with the people around us, and letting Him lead our lives. We also talk about the cross that recently fell on a priest and what we should (and shouldn't) read into moments like that. Guest views are their own; Scripture is our final authority.
Do some people really remember past lives, with birthmarks that match how they "died"? Seth Kicklighter, author of Spirit Realm Shenanigans!, is back for part 3 of his series, and he takes on what he calls the best evidence for reincarnation.
