Replacement Parts

The Koreans have done something that is either very dastardly or very good, and at the moment I'm not sure which. This robot they've created - EveR - is the work of scientists, so my gut instinct is to distrust it; however, the idea that we could one day create a perfect walking, talking female robot strikes me as a good thing, if only because keeping one around the house that serves as a role model for our wives and daughters, teaching them that the true duty of women, according to the Bible, is to serve their husbands, could be infinitely valuable. Also, if we can one day advance the technology enough, we could eventually create an army of machines that worships the Lord Our God, programming our robots to respect and obey the Bible. They could then serve as enforcers and ensure that Americans are going to Church, praying, etc., and they could even immediately administer the appropriate punishment. It would be much like the Virtue Police one finds in Saudi Arabia or in the old Taliban-ed Afghanistan, except our robots would truly be doing good, because they would not be worshipers of a heathen religion like Islam. At the same time, we'd have engineered an army that glories God, which our Lord would surely love.

But then I can't help but to think of the potential consequences, namely that our women will become lazy because they will have a robot to boss around. And there's also the possibility that men will prefer the robots to the women, especially since machines cannot get pregnant. This will deprive women of their opportunity to repent for original sin, while affording men the opportunity to lust without facing the consequences of children. And finally, if woman was made spiritually corruptible and inferior because she was made from the rib of a man, just imagine what could be done to robots that are made by men. The consequences could be grave, indeed. Ah, you see, having realized this last conclusion, I've now determined that these androids are a terrible idea; and all of you should also notice how I was immediately drawn to the "promise" of science, nearly corrupted by the possibility of doing good when, in fact, science is rarely capable of such a thing. This is why, as I've argued before, science should only be in the hands of true, virtuous Christians, and not Koreans, unless, of course, they are Christian.
