120,000 years

 If God will bless us for thousands of generations (Exodus 20) and since Hebrew has a word for ‘a couple, two’ that means at least 3000 generations, or 120,000 years. Thus, a use for Artificial Intelligence is to search science fiction for what might happen in these 120,000 years. I’m thinking Cordwainer Smith and Olaf Stapledon for instance. This would mean that what takes up several of each 42 (house/fellowship, head/apostles’ doctrine, (fang) eat/breaking of bread, cross/prayer) would become one.  Rosenstock’s chiastic history, Jordan’s succession of emphasis of Persons of the Trinity, Nisbet’s social groups.
