Robots, God and the Future - Film + Faith Sample

Where does mankind find its identity?
It is a theme throughout modern cinema and one that has plagued philosophers, theologians and university professors for centuries. Denis Villeneuve continues the discussion on the identity of humanity in this second chapter of Blade Runner.
In this fictional world, replicants are a creation of man and were meant to become even better than humans.
The problem with these humanoid creations is they merely desire to be human.
Keeping in mind that this is a work of fiction and replicants do not exist (Yet), it does not minimize the fact that people continue to question what it means to be human.
One reference that can answer this question is the Bible.
It states that we are made in the image of God, which means that God has a particular position for us in this world. This answer merely begins to provide an answer to this existential query, why not dig in more?
It is interesting that the study of humanity could bring one closer to know God.
This conversation starter came from the full review of the film Blade Runner 2049 @ Reel Dialogue.
