In Obamaland, that is already the reality! It's going to get worse for illegal aliens, what with robots taking all the menial jobs.
Wall-E!
Y’all, can go ahead and spin a thousand scenarios but the arch of history will trace the ineluctable fate of the world to its primary cause, and inevitably, to our ultimate end brought about by a sad iconoclast, named Toose; A French speaking, robotic minotaur, stuffed with the heads of infidels, and his sidekick, the famous artificial cat, Billy Bronco, both riding sidesaddle on unicorns into to a sea of pudding, til the end of time.
And there is nothing, nothing, you can do to stop it.
As knives get sharper, will humans have anything left to cut?
As planes get faster, will humans have anywhere to go?
There is one basic aspect of these future aspirations, which isn’t adequately considered.
God declared man would work the ground from whence he was taken in Genesis 3:22-24.
Today man is made to perform this function. When he doesn’t or avoids it, he will not have a full joy. There may be indirect linkages to fulfill that end, but that objective has never been replaced by God.
Consider one reason why today’s welfare state fails so miserably. It attempts to substitute an entitlement program en lieu of grace and charity. Men have become accustomed to accepting a welfare check en lieu of labor to barter for the fruits of working the land. It is a vary basic form of corruption. (not criminality, but a corruption of God’s intention) It results in missing out on where God has planned to place us from eternity past.
Mankind will still have a millennium to work out the details, during a rule by the rod of iron after this age of grace has passed.
Even if a time comes when such automation is prolific, the human condition will not advance until that fundamental curse from the Fall has been resolved and a resurrection occurs and the Earth is also removed from that curse.
This may seem old fashioned, but that is partly because it is very much tied to the old sin nature and our present human condition.
All of human history is His Story. No counterfeit substitute for His Plan will ever last, but His is immutable.
