But since God’s spirit and matter permeate and suffuse the cosmos, it may be possible to replicate life in a synthetic/robotic manner, if we can tease out enough of the causal mechanisms. At this point it is only speculation that we can create synthetic life, but at the end of the day, if we manage to succeed at creating Artificial Intelligence or artificial life, we will still borrow from God’s supply - we neither created it, nor provided it. From Scripture, God hasn’t precluded his breath from the cosmos on principle, allowing his rain on the just and unjust, hence, simpler organisms can still thrive on inorganic matter, and could harvest inhospitable energies, and in turn everyone else still benefits. However, per prophecy, there is no definitive role for these objects this side of God’s Kingdom. To be fair, the power of computation is now replicated in purpose-built machines, what’s preventing us from tapping into other functions, other than our ignorance of the workings of matter and spirit? As far as human death is concerned, it is often described as giving up the ghost, evoking the body’s failure to hold on to spirit, because of mostly material causes. But the purity and authority of Jesus seems to put this order backwards - his sheer power and purity allows him to pour Spirit, that it mends the body and allows it to hold on, particularly in the ones he healed, and in some he revived.
