BBC recently released a 6-minute segment on the Trans-humanism movement, posing this question: “Is this the next phase of human evolution?”
“It’s been argued that humans are no longer evolving,” the videos caption reads, “but now a growing number of people are integrating technology directly into their bodies.”
Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics, defines Transhumanism as “taking humans as we are and moving us forward, linking humans with technology.” He said, “We could call it Post-Humanity as well.”
Within the video, four men (who either are heavy advocates for Transhumanism and/or have taken steps in experimentation with transplanting/linking technology within their own bodies) are interviewed.
The overwhelming theme is that through the merging of technology, we can become “as gods.”
“When we talk about human enhancement, it’s the mind enhancement that is the most interesting part,” explained Andrew Vladimirov, a Transhumanist and Doctor of neuroscience. “Some people think we shouldn’t do it because we shouldn’t play god, while becoming god was the aim of any hero cult, Egyptian funerary practices, and so on. They were all dedicated to one aim, becoming gods.”
In an article from the Guardian, “No death and an enhanced life: Is the future trans-human?” Kurzweil and his followers say they believe this turning point will be reached around the year 2030. That’s when they think biotechnology will enable a union between humans and genuinely intelligent computers and AI systems.
Through this ever-increasing popular ideal of Transhumanism, we see the push of becoming “as gods.” of transforming into “enhanced creators,” to “eradicate ageing as the cause of death,” and becoming “the image of our own higher ideals.”
Anyone who has read the Bible can see a definite parallel with rhetoric as if they are quoting directly from Satan himself along with a rebellious mankind.
This same self-exalting pride bred in the trans-humanist movement was found originally in satan’s desire to propel his throne above God’s. It is also the same bait Satan used to tempt Eve in the garden of Eden.
Genesis 3:5 KJV – “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
Over and over again, like a broken record player, we see Satan’s same strategy throughout a corrupt humanity. The same old script being played out with increasing fervour and as a defiant mankind continues to eat it up in a frenzy. The reality that they refuse to face, is the bitter end that comes with raising your fist to an eternal creator.
