Science: Transhumanism: September 28, 2009
Genesis 1:24
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Introduction
I posted a teaching about scientists merging men and machines. It is called Singularity and The Image of the Beast. I also posted a teaching called Genetic Armageddon.
Together both of these articles show that the scientists are on the verge of creating a transhuman. This is a beast that is part human and part something else. It could be part machine or, by mixing DNA, part animal. Creating a transhuman is right on top of us! The genetic manipulation is further advanced, but both are near completion. A human who is no longer human.
I believe that tampering with the integrity of man is a KEY sign of the approaching Day of the LORD. God will put a stop to this at the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus. It appears from Revelation 13:15 that man will succeed in creating a transhuman which the Bible calls “The Image of the Beast.”
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
From charting the advancement toward creating a transhuman being, it is possible to get an idea how close man is to the Day of the LORD and God’s judgment. God must stop the creation of transhumans because these creatures are not created in His image and likeness; therefore, they cannot be redeemed through the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Transhumanism shows the end of road of man’s rebellion against God! This is close, very close. What I am posting is NOT science fiction. What was once science fiction is now becoming reality! What was science fiction 20 years ago can be reality in the very near future! It is like much of science fiction is advertisement for transhumanism. It is softening the public, especially the youngsters, to accept it.
I am merging my updates on Singularity and Genetic Armageddon into one. This way you can follow the creation of a transhuman and see how close the end is. These are incredible times we live in and do not be fearful: but grow closer to the Savior and focused on His Coming.
God bless you.
Commentary
I have posted several articles about both Singularity and Genetic Armageddon. The best article is by Ray Kurzweil who is one of the leading theorists of Singularity. He has been very accurate in predicting the use of the Internet and many technologies in use today. He is right on top of the developing Singularity. What he writes in this article is the future of man, unless the Lord Jesus intervenes to stop it, which He is going to do. An article like this shows how little time is left before God intervenes and stops man from destroying himself. Immortality only 20 years away says scientist
“Mr Kurzweil calls his theory the Law of Accelerating Returns. Writing in The Sun, Mr Kurzweil said: “I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogramme our bodies’ stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nanotechnology will let us live for ever.”
God bless you.

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (15) And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (16) For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
