My name is Paul Wever.
I am a mechanical engineer by training and a QA engineer by profession. I work in CAD/CAM software, where precision, logic, and structured systems matter. My professional world is one of modeling, code, verification, and technical clarity.
But I am also a Christian.
This project exists at the intersection of those two realities.
Why This Project Exists
As Artificial Intelligence becomes more capable — and more persuasive — I have seen increasing confusion about what these systems are and what they are not. Language models can simulate reasoning, organize arguments, and produce coherent reflections. But they do not think. They do not possess moral agency. They do not seek truth.
That distinction matters.
This repository and website are my attempt to think clearly about AI through a biblical lens. Not fearfully. Not dismissively. But carefully.
What I Believe
- Technology is a tool.
- Tools must remain tools.
- Truth is not probabilistic.
- Truth is grounded in the character of God.
- Jesus Christ is the Truth (John 14:6).
My Relationship with Technology
As someone who works directly with software systems, I am not anti-technology. I am deeply interested in it. I use AI tools in my own workflow. I experiment with them. I study how they function.
But I reject the idea that computation equals consciousness.
About This Site
This site is a growing archive of reflections on Artificial Intelligence, theology, philosophy, and technical reality. Some documents are written by me. Some are intentionally generated by AI systems and clearly labeled as such — not as authorities, but as demonstrations of statistical mimicry.
Purpose
This repository exists to provide theological and technical clarity regarding Artificial Intelligence — particularly Large Language Models.
As AI-generated text becomes more fluent, more persuasive, and more widely distributed, it becomes increasingly important to understand what these systems actually are and what they are not.
Large Language Models are statistical prediction systems. They generate language by predicting the next token in a sequence based on patterns learned from training data. They do not think. They do not reason consciously. They do not seek truth. They do not possess moral agency. They do not bear the image of God.
Why AI-Generated Documents Are Included
Some documents in this repository are intentionally generated by a Large Language Model (Claude AI). This is not an endorsement of AI-produced content as authoritative.
These documents are included as demonstrations. They show what a language model produces when prompted on topics like truth, theology, and AI. They serve as exhibits — allowing the reader to observe firsthand the nature of machine-generated text.
Each AI-generated document is clearly marked with:
- The name of the model that generated it.
- The date of generation.
- A disclaimer stating that the content is statistical output and does not represent independent reasoning, theological authority, or conscious understanding.
AI as a Tool, Not an Authority
This project treats AI strictly as a tool. Tools can be useful for research, drafting, productivity, and technical assistance. But tools must remain tools.
AI does not replace discernment. It does not replace moral judgment. It does not replace spiritual authority. It does not replace personal responsibility. It does not replace biblical truth.
The responsibility for evaluating any output — whether from a language model or any other source — rests with the human reader, who is made in the image of God, endowed with conscience, and accountable before the Creator.
Core Conviction
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" — John 14:6
Truth is not probabilistic. Truth is not the average of a dataset. Truth is not consensus. Truth is grounded in the character of God and revealed in Jesus Christ.
Clarity Requires Discipline
As AI advances, language will grow more convincing. The line between simulation and understanding will appear thinner. That is precisely why careful distinctions are necessary.
Technology evolves.
Christ does not.
