In this episode of "Projecting Perspectives," hosts Kyle Sanders and Devin Leitch delve into the themes of the movie "Wild Robot," exploring its portrayal of the relationship between technology and nature. They discuss the concept of the Imago Dei, or the image of God, and how it distinguishes humans from machines. The conversation touches on the attributes humans share with God, such as reason, intellect, and morality, and contrasts them with the incommunicable attributes like omniscience and omnipresence. The hosts also reflect on the movie's themes of community, kindness, and the idea of finding family in unconventional places, while critiquing its postmodern worldview and the portrayal of robots developing human-like empathy and emotions. They emphasize the Christian perspective that true morality and goodness stem from the character of God, and express their disappointment with the movie's ending, which they feel undermines its central thesis.
