Yeah, right. Sixty years ago, the brightest tech people said that we’d be living on food pills and flying to work in atomic-powered air cars by now.

This whole Transhumanist thing is just the latest attempt to satisfy the inescapable human longing for God, packaged for the materialist/atheist in the form of technological progress. “Since there is no God,” they say “We will create Him ourselves. By merging ourselves with godlike computers we shall transcend humanity and become as gods — omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and immortal.”

No thanks, Dr, Kurzweil. Mankind has tried self-deification before, and we all know how badly that ended.

And just imagine the year 2525. If man is still alive, that is.
