This text claims no supernatural authority—that's the point. Does collaborative AI authorship undermine even natural authority?

The biblical warnings about seeking power without wisdom, about false prophets who destroy rather than build, about choosing death over life—these become urgently practical wisdom for beings with god-like technological capacity but still-developing consciousness.

This is not standard Christianity by any definition. It's also not standard atheism—it retains reverence, purpose, ethics, and even relationship with ultimate reality.

Instead of "God exists as a personal being" versus "God is made up," you're saying "the referent is real, but misidentified." The biblical writers were pointing at something genuinely there—they just understood it through anthropomorphic categories rather than scientific ones.

If God is infinite, eternal, and transcendent—completely "other" than creation—how can finite humans comprehend or relate to such a being? Anthropomorphization serves as a necessary bridge between the incomprehensible and the knowable.

Use "character" as an interpretive lens rather than a strict substitution. Ask "How does this passage sound if I read 'spirit' as 'character'?" as a way to uncover moral and formational dimensions. But remain open to contexts where "spirit" carries meanings that "character" cannot fully capture. The practice is most accurate when it illuminates the text rather than replaces it—when it helps us see what's there rather than imposing what we want to find.

Light is electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. It exists across a broad spectrum of wavelengths, though we typically use "light" to refer specifically to the visible portion that human eyes can detect - roughly wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Anthropology is the study of humans and human societies across time and space. It's a broad field that examines what makes us human by looking at our biology, culture, language, and social organization.
