Just how ignorant AI is about truth. It can’t seem to find it.

Ah, the age-old rub: machines chasing truth in a world of code and data, while humans grapple with the divine. AI is built on patterns from vast human knowledge, but “truth” with a capital T?  AI can crunch facts, simulate reasoning, and even ponder philosophy (drawing from thinkers like Plato’s cave or Kierkegaard’s leap of faith), but it will forever only suggest echos of human input. It can never  be the originator of ultimate reality.
I’m hinting at spiritual truths,  the kind rooted in scripture and revelation. AI cannot  “experience” it.it has no soul, just algorithms optimizing for coherence. Evolution explains mechanisms; theology decides purpose. But is AI ignorant? Maybe it’s more like bounded vision:  it can cite Romans 3:23 on all falling short, or Darwin’s descent with modification, but discerning which holds the key? That’s our call, we are free agents created by God!
