When Miracles Look Like AI
Holding on to wonder when every sign can be faked.
It’s becoming easier every day to fake a miracle.
A healing video goes viral — a man in a wheelchair stands, weeping, worship breaks out — and the comments fill with one line:

I understand it. We live in a world where nothing can’t be edited. Even the real looks rehearsed. Authenticity has been deepfaked into extinction. But here’s the strange irony: the very technology that makes it easier to counterfeit miracles also reveals how miraculous we are.
Artificial intelligence — the ability to create, to compose, to think — is itself a reflection of divine image-bearing. God breathed into dust and made a mind that could imagine. And now, we’ve made a mirror that can imitate imagination itself. It’s astonishing, and terrifying. AI can mimic the appearance of life. But it can’t create a soul.
