Wesley J. Smith: “Here’s an interesting irony: Most transhumanists are materialists. But they desire eternal life as much as the religionists that so many materialists disdain. So they invent a material substitute that offers the benefits of faith, without the burden of sin, as they forge a new eschatology that allows them to maintain their Über-rationalist credentials as they try to escape the nihilistic despair that raw materialism often engenders. So they tout a corporeal New Jerusalem and prophecy the coming of the Singularity – roughly equivalent of the Second Coming for Christians – that will…begin a New Age of peace, harmony, and eternal life right here on Terra Firma.”

If an atheist and a Christian examine the same data but come to different conclusions, why is one called science and the other called faith? Evolution has detached man from his creator and being created in God’s image and likeness. Evolution is nothing more than a religion that enables people to justify writing their own rules. Man is now a free agent to tamper with his DNA under the guise of advancing evolution. Therefore, man sees himself as the captain of his own destiny. He is going to overcome death, disease, and human limitations. Rather than live with the image of God that he has and received the cure for his fallen state, man would rather pretend that God does not exist and attempt his own cure. Even the difference in the sexes is no longer considered to be God-given. Mankind is racing toward changing the very image that we were created in to disconnect us from God forever. Satan’s ultimate plan will be to persuade and/or force man to change his genetic makeup so that he is no longer fully in the image of God. Once we give up the code we have been made with, we in fact will be forsaking the image of the One who created us. Not only does this violate the ‘according to its kind’ principle, but it also has the radical consequence of man changing himself from God’s image. This wholesale redesign of humanity is what Satan has been planning for millennia. Essentially, there seems to be a scientific agenda to suppress any evidence that may point to the reality of a God or topple the hypothesis of evolution. These modern day prophets of Darwin have even gone as far as to ban any scientific research that casts doubt on Darwin from being taught in most schools. It is very strange that the supposedly objective field of science has to prevent people from examining all the data. It is a modern day reminder of when the pope banned the common people from reading the Bible; only the Papacy was allowed to tell you what to believe is real.

Dr. Richard Seed: “We are going to become Gods, period…but if you are going to interfere with me becoming a God, you’re going to have trouble. There’ll be warfare…God intended for man to become one with God. We are going to become one with God. We are going to have almost as much knowledge and almost as much power as God. Cloning and reprogramming of DNA is the first serious step in becoming one with God.”

In Judeo-Christian faith, the human body is not an ill-designed ‘meat sack’, as transhumanists so often deride. We were made in God’s image to be temples of His Holy Spirit. The incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection are the centerpieces of the gospel and attest to this magnificent fact. While in our fallen condition human suffering is a reality, most traditional Christians believe this struggle makes us stronger and that healing and improvements to the human condition are also to be desired. But in the soul-less posthuman, where DNA is recombined in mockery of the creator and no man is made in God’s image, “there are no essential differences, or absolute demarcations, between bodily existence and computer simulation, cybernetic mechanism and biological organism, robot technology and human goals,” says Katherine Hales, professor of English at the University of California. “Humans can either go gently into that good night, joining the dinosaurs [dragons] as a species that once ruled the Earth but is now obsolete,” she says in transhuman contempt of – or outright hostility to – intrinsic human dignity, “or hang on for a while longer by becoming machines themselves. In either case…the age of the human is drawing to a close.” Thus the gauntlet is thrown down and a holy war has been declared by the new and ungodly apostles of the transhumanist faith.
