Who is supreme, man or God? by Gary Rose

I encourage everyone out there to watch this video, for it is one of the most thought provoking videos I have ever seen. As the title says, there is a fourth industrial revolution. What is it? A change for human beings. A change of what it means to be a human being and how we live and exist in a future where technology will no longer be a tool, but will integrated in us and the world about us. Technology and biology will merge into a new creation, both of human beings and of all that is around us.


It is one thing to make tools and quite another to redefine God’s creation. When we begin to think that God’s creation is not good enough and than Humans can do a better job of creation than God, then those who think this way are really saying that they are equal with God. More than that, God’s work is not really good enough; MAN can do BETTER!


The Bible says…


Genesis 1 ( World English Bible )

1 In the beginning, God * created the heavens and the earth.


26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

29 God said, “Behold, * I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.



Romans 1 ( WEB )

14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.

21 Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,


2 Thessalonians 2 ( WEB )

1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.

3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

5 Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

12 that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;



All throughout history man has made tools to make his life better and that is a good thing. When we say that we can fundamentally change God’s creation at a biological level then we make ourselves out to be GOD. This is arrogance of extraordinary proportions.


Watch the video and think about it. There is only one God and we are NOT HIM. No amount of technology can equal the power of Almighty God. In the end, technology run amok will result in our total destruction.


Perhaps the book of Revelation is being unfolded before our very eyes. One thing is certain- The Bible says...


Revelation 21 ( WEB )

1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

5 He who sits on the throne said, "“Behold, I am making all things new.”" He said, "“Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.” "

6 He said to me, "“It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. "

7 "He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. "

8 "But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, * idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”"


I may not know what the near future may bring, but I do know who is supreme at the end of all things - GOD! 

ps. Many thanks to brother Ed Healy for sharing this video with me!
