Thank you for another great podcast, you deserve a much larger audience i have subscribed to your channel, even though i am not a christian i am a great fan of John Lennox. Muslims, jews and christians share the same morality and outlook in spite of our differences. As a muslim i wish JL and his thoughts were better known in the muslim world, he is the type of christian i do and can relate to, may God bless him.

May this bright mind and heart still be with us for a long time. The world needs people like John Lennox, now more, than ever.

Fab interview thank you. Mr Lennox is a favourite of mine. This is why I like being Christian.
God: “use your damn brain.”
AI: “stop using your brain.”
Non-believers make fun of others for believing in a Creator yet we’re the ones trying to conserve consciousness and free thought 💀 Prayer is grounding and rather good for the senses. It’s also harmless, it encourages empathy, charity and kindness. AI’s goal is to wipe the slate clean. If people want to dismiss me as a sky fairy worshipping moron as they themselves leave the door open to Creator wannabes and lose complete mental capacity then thats their choice.

[kevinstoneham]

We are 100 per cent being listened to. Our phones are doing it constantly.

[AdrieKooijman]

We are not losing control of AI, we already have lost control of the big tech companies.

Happy Birthday baby brother—I was born in September 1943! And I too search for scientific truth, general truth, and have had a life-changing encounter with The Truth.🎉 ❤
GOD did NOT lose control of His Creation. Creatures started listening to an old-fashioned version of AI 🤖 which led them astray indeed!

[lawrencenannes]

Respect u as a scientist who understand the Power of the RESSURECTION❤❤

Sometime ago I was having a discussion with my husband and I happened to say "I've had enough". Suddenly his mobile began to give out the numbers for organisations like the Samaritans. This really creeped me out.

[MarkCox]

Master class! What a gem John Lennoz is. A great interview!

[kayakMike]

Good point on the idea with the danger of knives. People sometimes get hurt with knives, but we don't outlaw knives because they are largely very useful.

[simonzeman]

If they finally "upload" a person into whatever robot they create it will only mimic that person with his memories, mannerism etc fooling this way his/her close ones. They will never copy / upload our soul that God gave us. So what? Empty shells walking??

[rayssis]

I feel that coming across these podcasts is a gift from God today. A gift if truth, light and hope. Thank you for using the intelligence and processing God gave you to help open eyes of understanding. Directing to GOD. God bless you

[sandywong]

Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion. We need not be afraid! There is One who is Sovereign over it all!

[jamesjaudon]

Thank you John Lennox. For decades of being an intellectual hammer for truth and critical thinking.

[laurycg]

The last minute make me cry! Thanks you! Excellent ! Regards from Panama!

[AUDIOMENTAL]

If you’re going to progress in Ai consciousness you cannot just look at the brain and it’s evolving synapses and learning. You have to look at the whole body. The heart, the way the body reacts to stimuli and it’s effect on the brain and everywhere else not to mention the soul and the spirit 🤷‍♂️

[oviguitar]

Absolutely loving the quality of your content! The caliber of guests you bring on provides us with some truly substantial food for thought. Keep it up!

[KezeraYazhe]

Thank you, practical wisdom for featuring the great man of wisdom Dr. John Lennox on your program with Please bring Dr Peterson in your program as well.
bless you.
Happy 80th birthday to Dr Lennox. May God give you more years before you retire in heaven and live forever with the Lord. God and we wish you a long stay on planet earth, before you depart to heaven for eternal rest. We need you at this critical time to save millions.

Paul, the great servant of the Lord, said this about departing to heaven to be with the Lord or to be with man on earth.

I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. ( Philippians 1, 23 ;;24 )

[PrincipledUncertainty]

Thank you. This helped clarify my thinking on so many issues surrounding AI.

[somethingyousaid]

Yeah, John Lennox, I always liked his music.
