We are on the verge of being powerful enough to create human, animal, machine, etc. hybrids...and send them to live in space and on other planets.
We may be on the verge of extending the life expectancy of humans dramatic, perhaps almost infinitely (thereby regaining contact with the Tree of Life for all intents and purposes).
We are able to communicate instantly around the world.
This is all brand new. Who knows what evil it will bring?
We are reminded of this: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." Matthew 24:37.

That sounds like a lot of science fiction to me. I pretty much don't read science fiction, since it usually depends heavily on the fiction, and not so much on the science.
For example, the idea that one could live forever by putting one's consciousness into a machine keeps popping up. But the reality is that consciousness is an intrinsic property of the brain. How are those electrochemical processes that produce what we perceive as consciousness going to be transferred into a machine? Even if a machine can be programmed with all of the memories and behaviors of a living person, it still is only a simulacrum--it is not the person, and its behavior would likely diverge rapidly from the real person's behavior, since the processes of computation are quite different in a mechanical medium.
And so forth. Eternal life on earth isn't likely.
