God & the Singularity: Blogger wants your opinion.

[LongTomH]

The author of The Speculist blog is looking for opinions on God and the (Technological) Singularity. He has a short (15 question) poll.

In preparation for my next essay in the series I've been doing on God and the Singularity, I thought it would be a good idea to see where Singularity-aware folks stand on the question of God (and of course, where God-aware people stand on the question of the Singularity.)

The Speculist author is both a person of faith and a member of the futurist/transhumanist community - a rare phenomenon.

I'd like to see DU'ers with an interest in science and/or religion take part in this poll; it would help open up a needed dialogue between scientific/futurist types and those of faith.

Here's a link for those still confused about The Technological Singularity.

1. That Poll Seems Skewed

To me it really seems like in order to answer anything after Question 5 you have to be of a mind that believes the Techno Singularity is going to happen. If you don't think it will happen then there isn't anything to answer. I suppose you could speculate "what if." There should have been a qualifier on the true/false questions, such as "If the TS happens... ."

2. Did you leave a comment ?

You have a valid point there. I saw several flaws to the survey; mostly the lack of "indeterminate" answers.
