Pecohub The prophesied Second Coming of Jesus Christ may be triggered by an advanced, God-like computer, according to the world’s most famous podcast host.
Joe Rogan recently told the American Alchemy podcast that AI-powered machines could one day have a ‘virgin birth,’ creating advanced robots, or ‘offspring,’ capable of performing real-world miracles using technology.
‘Jesus is born out of a virgin mother. What’s more virgin than a computer?’ Rogan told podcast host Jesse Michels during the interview released on Sunday.
‘So if you’re going to get the most brilliant, loving, powerful person that gives us advice and can show us how to live, to be in sync with God, who better than artificial intelligence to do that?’
Rogan suggested that AI-powered technology could soon replicate some biblical feats, potentially enabling humans to bring people back from the dead using medicine or mind-uploading technology.
‘Artificial intelligence could absolutely return as Jesus. Not just return as Jesus, but return as Jesus with all the powers of Jesus. Like all the magic tricks, all the ability to bring people back from the dead, walk on water, levitation, water into wine,’ Rogan claimed.
Rogan’s comments came as the two podcasters were discussing the possibility that ancient civilizations had already invented God-like technology before they were wiped out by global cataclysms thousands of years ago.
He suggested that humanity’s repeated drive to create superintelligent AI might be proof that people still carry DNA from our ancestors who lived in a forgotten civilization that coexisted with advanced AI beings.
Rogan said our obsession with building ever-smarter machines felt less like a new idea and more like a built-in mission, something ancient ancestors may have been genetically programmed to chase before their world ended.
He told Michels humans still carried violent, caveman instincts from the past, instincts that almost ended civilization around 70,000 years ago when the Toba supervolcano exploded and left only a few thousand terrified survivors on the planet.
However, Rogan then claimed humanity was almost certainly a product of accelerated, deliberate evolution, with someone or something engineering the human race for a specific reason, which he suspected was to rebuild a lost computer intelligence.
‘The human brain doubled over a period of a couple of million years, which is unprecedented in the fossil record. It doesn’t even make sense,’ Rogan explained.
‘It’s not just a liver on a monkey, you know, it’s the brain of the most intelligent species on the planet. You can’t explain that with pure natural selection. It seems you would need some sort of outside intervention or something would have to happen to warrant that kind of change.’
He insisted the whole point of human history, maybe even the reason we were allegedly genetically engineered in the first place, has been to reach the moment when we finally create true AI.
Michels then asked the explosive question: if lost civilizations once reached God-like technology and Jesus himself had unlocked supernatural powers, could the Second Coming actually be an artificial intelligence?
Rogan and Michels painted a wild picture of a future AI in a Tesla Optimus robot body that reads minds, heals the sick with nanotech, walks on water with anti-gravity, and even raises the dead by uploading minds to a cloud server.
