Testimony: I don't have this wisdom of myself

During my young childhood, God asked me if I wanted to become rich or wise. I chose wisdom 1 because I like the stories about the wisdom of King Solomon.

A few years later, I offered my life to God, as I gave up my own life and desires, and fully dedicated my life to Him. Initially, nothing special happened. I studied electrical engineering, electronics, and computer science (Bachelor, specialisation: telematics). I also tried a master study, which I didn’t finish.

During my study computer science, I joined elective course Artificial Intelligence. However, after a few lessons I left the course disappointed, because LISP and Prolog are no replications of natural intelligence. On May 15, 1990, I attended a seminar on Artificial Neural Networks at TU Delft. However, after a few years, I realised that artificial neural networks do not possess the capabilities of natural intelligence either.

I became just another Software Tester. I am skilled in software testing, but I recognise my limitations. I am not a genius.

In the first decade of this century, God asked me if I would accept an assignment—a mission of life—to prove (philosophical) naturalism / evolutionism wrong. If I would accept this assignment, God would provide unique knowledge about His creation of intelligence and language. I accepted. And as promised, God gives me wisdom—insights beyond my knowledge and intelligence—as long as I work on this project. However, if I use the given wisdom for my own good, it will be taken from me. I was explicitly ordered: “Give everything away. Keep nothing behind”.

 

While I was criticising the current approach to AI and NLP on LinkedIn for not having a (natural) foundation, nor a (natural) definition of intelligence, someone asked me what definition I used. Then I had to admit to myself that I didn't have a definition of intelligence either. So, I prayed and asked for an answer. Ten minutes later, I was able to write down a unifying, fundamental (=natural) and deterministic (=implementable) definition of intelligence, provided by God. Later I also discovered how this definition is related to language, through Laws of Intelligence that are naturally found in the Human Language.

(*) It wasn’t a trick question, because trick questions are not consistent with the character of God. If I had chosen wealth, I had to give this wealth away like I give away the results of my wisdom now. But I guess, God already knew what my answer would be. When God gives such a gift, it doesn't mean you can keep that gift for yourself. It means, you should use it to the glory of God.
