EDITO

Man wants to control everything — intelligence, life, death — yet he remains profoundly fragile. Artificial intelligence is at the heart of recent international debates, and in France the question of end-of-life care remains widely discussed. (Article published by Reuters.)

Theme of the day: When man wants to become his own god

Our age is moving at an impressive speed. Artificial intelligence promises to think faster, to decide more efficiently, and to increase our abilities. Medicine pushes back certain limits. Social debates even touch on life and death, as though the human being now wanted to hold in his own hands what once surpassed him or escaped his control.

But the question remains: does man become wiser because he becomes more powerful?

Since the Garden of Eden, the temptation has not really changed: “you will be like gods” — to know, to control, to decide without God. This old lie now wears modern clothing. It does not always present itself as an open rebellion against the Creator, but as a desire for total autonomy: to live without depending, to know without listening, to choose without giving account.

And yet, the more man believes he possesses certain advances, the more we see the anxiety of his heart.

He knows how to produce, calculate, and transform, but he does not know how to save his soul. He can prolong certain things, but he cannot give eternal life. He can multiply knowledge, but he cannot replace the truth.

The Bible does not call us to reject every invention or every form of progress. It calls us to discernment. The real danger is not the tool, but the heart that uses it without the fear of God.
