Bible Predicts Google Obsoletes Jehovah?

Google is working on a conversational instant translator. What does Genesis 11 say happens if they succeed? "Nothing shall be unattainable for them". Jehovah better bring Armageddon soon or else!

Even the Bible contains a hint about what could create a practical internet "God".

Dude, I noticed you really get stoked on 21st Century advances in science, technology, and medicine (not judging, I do too).

Is it maybe because all these advances are happening in "This Old Rotten System" instead of the WTS Paradise, thusly calling into serious question WTS theology?

Just curious.

You've got it. I like Art Bell's notion of the "Quickening" as a time of explosive scientific progress that changes everything.

The Watchtower's dreams of last minute persecution will be replaced by the reality of being passed by and simply left in the dust, irrelevant.

They will cling desperately to their dreams, sadly because so many Witnesses have nothing else and are ignorant, uneducated and broke. At this point, at least Witness kids will escape.

Something else I remembered; these advances are taking place via the application of sound scientific principles, discipline, and good old-fashioned hard work.

To the best of my knowledge, End-Timers (JW or otherwise) have virtually always interpreted the fulfillment of Apocalyptic/Millenial prophecies (positive and negative) as being overtly "miraculous" in nature; i.e. supernatural phenomenon.

Advances in longevity medicine, disease elimination, stem cell therapies, cybernetics, and nanotechnology (not to mention climate change and Peak Oil) are all, despite being astonishing (or extremely worrisome), distinctly mundane, "real-world" things. If humanity accomplishes this much on its own without divine assistance (or judgment), it's potentially a huge blow to the fundamentalist worldview.

That reminds me, I remember chuckling when I realized that the majority of advances and more importantly, successes - in genetics therapy are, in a big way, due to the application of evolutionary models to the research.
