• OpenAI's new AI video generator, Sora, raises ethical and biblical questions about truth and technology's societal impact.
• Designer babies now teens, with many experiencing identity struggles, reveal the unintended consequences of parental expectations and genetic tailoring.
• The legacy of Hal Lindsey, author of The Late Great Planet Earth, prompts reflection on eschatology and its influence on evangelical social action.
