The serpent tempted Adam and Eve to become more like God on their own terms, yet this tragically resulted in them becoming less like God. Digital technology extends a similar promise to make humans more like God on their terms and has a deforming effect on our minds, bodies, and souls.

“Take the fruit, and you will be like God,” the Serpent whispers in Eve’s ear. But Eve was already like God—humans uniquely reflect and represent God’s image. Though Adam and Eve were created like God, this wasn’t enough for them. They were consumed by a desire to extend the boundaries of their God-likeness, leading them to bite the fruit that the Serpent promised would make them even more like God. The Serpent was telling both the truth and a lie.

This article aims to demonstrate that digital technology parallels the fruit in both its promise to grant us God-like abilities while also deforming God’s character in us.
