Transhumanism is preparing the way
for the Antichrist (an article for a YouTube video)
Arthur C. Clarke, a famous science fiction author, said: "It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God but to create him." (Clarke) [See Genesis 3.]
Transhumanism is defined by oxforddictionaries.com as "The belief or theory that the human race can evolve … especially by means of science and technology." (Oxford.) (See Footnote below).
Another transhumanist, Marvin Minsky, wrote this statement, which appeared in the Scientific American magazine (in the October 1994 issue):
"Once we know what we need to do, our nanotechnologies should enable us to construct replacement bodies and brains …. [W]e could design our "mind-children" to think a million times faster than we do." (Minsky)
Eliezer Yudkowsky, a transhumanist, said: "…transhumanism ….
A million-year lifespan? If it’s possible, why not?" (Yudkowsky)
The Antichrist in the book of Revelation is called the beast. Being a human-like , but not fully human, he is called the beast. This beast has supernatural powers and can be called "superhuman." For instance, he can die but appear to rise back to life again. He also has power to subdue the whole earth so that people will say "...Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" (Revelation 13:3). No man or woman on earth will be like this creature.
The concept of a superhuman man matches with the beliefs of transhumanists. They are looking forward to a time when humans will supposedly engineer themselves into something "godlike" or supernatural.
