⬨An Atheist Sci-Fi Franchise Just Went Full Christian
"Star Trek has long had a complicated and changing relationship with religion. ... It came full circle when the captain of the Enterprise got down on his knees and started reciting the Lord’s Prayer in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 premiere."
I wish they'd make a follow-up to this, because there were other, more subtle, hints of the Christian faith in season 3. It's a little much to say they "went full Christian", but treating religion and religious ideas with respect may hopefully open minds, or at least soften attitudes, of viewers who were hostile to Christianity.

⬨AI Destroys Everything, Including Atheism
"AI only needs to seem right rather than be right", and "if you accept naturalism and evolution, you can't think of your cognitive faculties as being reliable, as giving you the actual truth about the world." How do these two statements go together?
Glen Scrivener comments on a recent video about AI slop, with the help of an argument made by Alvin Plantinga, and shows how it defeats naturalism.
