Today Chris shares some of his work on artificial intelligence and the prospects for a wholesome humanism. The question he's attempting to answer is, "Is it possible to preserve permanent things such as traditional family life when the technology we have developed can easily tears wholesome life to shreds?" In other words, is dystopia inevitable, or can we have an apple pie American wholesomeness and still have rocket ships? Join us for a little science fiction fun!

0:05.0 | It's just the Pugs today. |
0:07.0 | We've had a number of guests here recently, and we're going to have some more in the future, |
0:11.0 | but for at least the next few weeks it'll just be the guys. |
0:16.0 | Anyway, I'm C.R. Wiley, I pastor church in the Pacific Northwest, |
0:20.0 | right outside Portland, Oregon, |
0:21.6 | and I have written a number of books. I'm actually working on a book right now on artificial |

0:38.9 | I teach both at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. |
0:42.6 | I've been working on a long-time project, which will see the light of day. |
