It's called "Let's Play God". Result: hell on earth. Let God be God.

People used those same arguments whenever something new was invented. For example, people would say to the Wright Brothers "If God intended for us to fly, he would have given us wings."

You mean what by this exactly? I'm hoping you're not suggesting some luddite jihad against technology.

Dear Jerry,

That's the true spirit only made possible through the Holy Spirit!
BTW, who's leading the charge on this whole idea of man and machine becoming God? Can't remember what Church Father said "There are no new heresies" Just the lies that men and lesser beings spin allowing them the failed notion that they somehow can transend God. That is utter foolishness, IMHO!

the dawning of a new civilization that will enable us to transcend our biological limitations and amplify our creativity. In this new world, there will be no clear distinction between human and machine, real reality and virtual reality. We will be able to assume different bodies and take on a range of personae at will.

Nobody needs to be responsible for the results of their, um, creativity because "the machine made me do it" and "is" is relative. This looks like the Clinton persona (narcissism) packaged for resale.

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Eternal life in the body will be
combined with the raising of the dead,
our past lifes remembered with
the accompanying judgement.
Time comes to an end when interstellar
flight and thereby time travel becomes
part of our reality connecting us with
the heavens.

I doubt you and I have the same conception of "God" but I agree with you 100%. When man plays at being God we get such things as the Holocaust, abortion and Stalin's USSR. To each thing there is a season...
