Secular Humanist Artificial Intelligence Myth

We're headed toward a situation where AI is vastly smarter than humans and I think that time frame is less than five years from now. But that doesn't mean that everything goes to hell in five years. It just means that things get unstable or weird.

Secular humanists think that religions are myths. But secular humanists also create their own myths.

Secular humanists believe in nature and the material world. God or gods are invoked to fill in the blanks in our knowledge. For example, when we do not know how rain and thunder works, we created rain god and thunder god. As our knowledge increase, there will be less and less requirement for divine explanation. Eventually, when we know everything, god or gods will cease to exist.

Why do secular humanists think like this?

It is because they have a superior view of man and an inferior view of God and God's creation, also known as nature. They believe that in due time, man will understand everything. Because they have a superior view of man, they also believe that man's creation, also known as artificial intelligence, can take over the world.
