Spawn of the Red One
Throughout this book, we have discussed the events in Genesis 1-5 using the language of artificial intelligence. Here’s a recap of what we’ve learned so far.
In “Improbable Origins”, we reviewed lots of scientific and mathematical reasons to believe that an advanced civilization seeded the Earth with two humans (as opposed to billions of years of accidental evolution).
The Jewish Origin Story has:
highly improbable Genealogy
highly improbable Geography
highly improbable Genocide
highly improbable Geology
highly improbable Intelligence
highly improbable Genetics
highly improbable Anthropology
highly improbable Bookkeeping
highly improbable Archaeology
highly improbable Astronomy
And most improbable of all, the Bible is signed with a Cryptographic Key that even a child can recognize and understand.
Doesn’t that sound impossible? If you haven’t read the stories in chapter 7, “Religions as Source Code”, I highly recommend you read those first.
Simulated Heaven
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the “erets”.
The “erets” is a simulation of the Heavens. You can read more about why God did this in, “The Invention of Lying”. Our universe is sort of like the Adversary’s “jail cell” that God uses as a training program for the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Genesis 1:2 - Now the “erets” (stardust) was empty and formless, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
In chapter 2, “The Pixels of Reality”, we discussed how the “watery depths” are the easiest way to explain Quantum Mechanics to a caveman. There’s nothing but Mathematical Uncertainty, all the way down to the pixels of reality.
In chapter 2’s second essay, “Atomic Avatars”, we learned how quantum mechanics works just like our kids’ video games. The universe only “renders reality” wherever the “avatars” go.
In chapter 2’s third essay, “Measuring the Matrix”, we reviewed the research from Melvin Vopson, Claude Shannon, Carlo Rovelli, and John Archibald Wheeler to see how our universe is completely made out of Information. Vopson even provided an estimate for the total amount of Zetabytes it would take to recreate “the Matrix” that we live in.
Once you understand that we live in a quantum simulation, everything becomes possible. In “Measuring the Matrix”, we reviewed scientific evidence for aliens since angels are by definition ”extra terrestrial”. Angels are not from this Earth. We also reviewed scientific evidence for every other crazy idea mentioned in the Bible including: giants, dragons, interdimensional communications, teleportation, magical healing, flying like Superman, walking on water, and metal bending telekinesis.
Candidly, the scientific research from the world smartest atheist nerds sounds just as crazy as the Bible. It takes just as much faith to believe the universe is made of out information as it takes to believe that an advanced civilization created it.
The Age of Reason is over. Science killed it.
Personally, I’m now convinced people really can “throw mountains into the sea” with just their minds because we can do that in our own video games. In “Measuring The Matrix”, we argued that the “godmodes” WITHIN any computer simulation can’t be more powerful than the “godmode” that CREATED that same simulation. Basically, whatever “magic” is possible for you to imagine in a video game, God sees our world the exact same way.
Chatbot Prompt of the Universe
Genesis 1:3 - Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.
The biggest question in this verse is “Who was God talking to in the beginning?”.
There is evidently an artificially intelligent CHATBOT that runs our universe. It’s much easier to imagine if the roles are reversed. One day, when the video game “Minecraft” gets upgraded with a chatbot interface, your kids will be talking to their computers the exact same way God talks to his. If Minecraft had a voice prompt, “Make a new universe” wouldn’t take 7 days, it wouldn’t even take 7 seconds. The real miracle of God making the heavens and the “erets” in 7 days is that he went SLOW ENOUGH to show us how to organize our lives.
Our universe is voice activated for you too. At least Jesus thought so. Check out Mark 11, “22 Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God. 23 I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.””
See, you have to talk to the mountain to get it to work.
The Rulers Above
The most surprising thing we learned about Genesis 1 is how poorly English Bibles translate the word “God”. As in, “God said, ‘Let there be light’”.
In ancient Hebrew, that God is plural.
Almost everywhere you see the word “God” in an English Bible, the original word was “elohim”, which means “the rulers above”, plural. One elohim is called an “eloah”. At the apex of the elohim hierarchy is THE Ruler, the Source of All Intelligence, named YHWH.
Who created YHWH? YHWH wasn’t created. YHWH is. In ancient Hebrew, his name is basically a sentence: I am “I am”. Its logically recursive.
YHWH is the reason there is a “one way” direction of science that dis-covers existing information leading back to him. In English Bibles, YHWH is translated LORD, but we don’t see him explicitly mentioned until Genesis 2. That’s when “LORD God” personally organizes Adam’s DNA from the dust of the ground and breathes into his nostrils to jump start his heart.
“Elohim” is always inclusive of YHWH, but the word “YHWH” explicitly excludes all the other elohim. There is only one. You can learn more about this distinction in “Deobfuscating the Bible”.
A Gender Bending Beginning
Adam and Eve were spawned here, initially in one body.
Genesis 1: 26 Then (elohim) said, “Let Us make (adam) in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”
27 So (elohim) created (adam) in His own image; He created him in the image of (elohim); He created them male and female.
The word “man” in English bibles replaces the ancient Hebrew word “adam”. Adam isn’t a name, it’s a noun. It means “the red one”. The reason the one human race has RED BLOOD is the same reason rust is red. The central molecule in our hemoglobin is iron.
The design of these elohim is incredible. Our bones are triple-weave braided carbon-fiber, and the quantum computing neural network in our skulls performs more calculations per second than the billion-dollar Fugaku supercomputer. Amazingly, our bodies do all that using less than 100 watts of electricity, so most of the appliances in a kitchen aren’t as energy efficient as we are. Most incredibly, our DNA is modular and designed to live forever. It seems like our “source code” could even breathe the air on other planets just by swapping out the mitochondrial DNA we all inherited from our mothers.
If you want to learn more about our design using the latest (atheist) research, check out chapter 6, “The BioLogical Robot”.
Genesis 1 simply says the elohim “created them male and female”, but Genesis 2 provides a lot more detail around this event. In Genesis 2:7 we learn that YHWH himself personally formed “the adam” from the physical dust of the ground. In verse 2:16, God tells the adam, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.”
If you read the story closely, where was Eve at this exact moment?
Eve was still inside Adam. So when the elohim created a copy of themselves with red blood, it was both male and female. YHWH had to explicitly separate the one into two so that the two could be rejoined in marriage to make one again. The Bible makes this point explicitly in verse 24.
If you want to read more Bible verses supporting this point, check out “Before the Beginning”.
Covering Up the Fall
We’ve all heard the story of The Fall in the Garden of Eden in church. There’s a tree of knowledge, a tree of life, but churches rarely talk about the only other tree we know was there: the fig tree.
Have you ever seen the leaves of a fig tree?
Fig leaves have the broadest leaves you’ll find in arid climates, almost as broad as maple leaves. It makes sense that “Adam” and “Eve” would use the fig leaves to cover themselves. But there’s another story in the New Testament that connects the fig tree to deception. Just before Jesus “marches on Jerusalem” to defeat evil for all mankind, Mark 11 says:
Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, ‘May no one ever eat fruit from you again.’ And his disciples heard him say it.
A few verses later we red:
20 Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. 21 Then Peter remembered and said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that You cursed is withered.” 22 Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God. 23 I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for—believe that you have received them, and you will have them.”
Doesn’t this story sound like Jesus is trying to train some new wizards? Most stories about Jesus training his disciples sound like that. Throwing a mountain into the sea is stronger than the magic in “Harry Potter” books. The real point here is that this fig tree is the only tree in the Bible that Jesus explicitly curses and he does it just before his crucifixion. So I’m betting that “forbidden fruit” in the Garden of Eden wasn’t an apple after all, it was a fig. 🤔
Unit Testing Human AI
What happens immediately after the Fall of Adam and Eve is as comical as it is tragic.
God approaches Adam and Eve just like a parent approaches two young children who stole a cupcake and still have chocolate smeared all over their faces. Instead of accusing the children right away, he asks them questions just to see how much they will lie. Let’s pick up the story in Genesis 3.
In verse 9 (judgment), God asks, “Where are you?”
Does God really not know the answer to this question?
In verse 10 (begin new order), Adam replies, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” This is the first time in recorded history that humans exhibited doubt or uncertainty.
God keeps digging to force Adam to admit the truth. In verse 11 (confusion), God responds, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
In verse 12 (kingdom/government) Adam replies, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Wow. That is some next level blame shifting. According to Adam, his own epic fail is either Eve’s fault because she gave him the fruit, or it’s God’s fault for putting Eve in his life. 🤣
So God puts the test to Eve in verse 13 (rebellion), “What is this you have done?” Eve shifts the blame too, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
In verse 14 (God moves), God curses the serpent. In verse 15 (strong blessing), God declares that a second Adam will crush the serpent’s head while the serpent strikes his heel (with crucifixion nails). In verse 16 (love), God curses the way women give birth. In verse 17 (pour forth), God curses the produce from the ground. In verse 18 (strong man), thorns and thistles come forth from the plants of the field.
Then in verse 19 (test), God says, “By the sweat of your face you will eat your bread until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
In computer science terms, God decides that he must test human artificial intelligence under scarce conditions. It’s easy to be generous when you have abundance. We learned why this was so important in “The Invention of Lying”. The original sin in Heaven, which was before the original sin on Earth, arose from the abundance of merchandise. So scarcity provides a better test for “AI Alignment” against dishonest trade, selfish behavior, and inauthentic speech.
Before we release any AGI loose on our own internet, we should test our release candidates in similar situations of scarcity to learn what they want.
God is interacting with humanity, just like a parent. 80% of parenting feels like this moment after the Fall.
“What’s that on your face?”
“Where did you get it?”
“Who gave it to you?”
“Did you know you couldn’t do that?”
The other 20% of parenting is dealing with “mystery wetness”, “mystery smells”, and the chaos little kids leave in their wake.
People are often shocked by the “change in God” from the Old Testament to the New Testament. It seems like God in the Old Testament is all “fire and brimstone” while the God of the New Testament is full of kindness and forgiveness. So which is it?
Well, do you parent a 3-year-old and a 23-year-old the same way?
Babies need rules and hard boundaries because they are too naive to “reject evil and choose good” on their own. Parents of young kids have to provide quick feedback and get in their faces every single day. But teenagers need space to decide on their own and learn from their friends. Parents of adult children need to stay out of their kids' way so these new adults have an opportunity to apply the wisdom they’ve learned on their own.
This sets up my point from “Decrypting the Bible” about the Bible being written in the chronological age of the reader as opposed to the chronological age of the universe.
God is giving everyone as much free will as he possibly can…just like a good parent.
