So many of the issues we suffer today are because everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) wants to be a God among men. It’s one reason why super hero movies are popular. And it means that everyone can live by their own moral code (remember Satan told Eve - “You will be like God, knowing good and evil.”, only of course, he lied (surprise)).

I think that Satan was telling the truth about Eve now knowing good and evil. It was the part about “surely you won’t die” that he lied about. Oh - and now perhaps I see your point, that she would “be like God” (yes, a lie).

Thankfully, due to God’s grace we DO die. So that we don’t have to live forever in this fallen world.

I’m not sure if I ever thought about it before - but the part about “knowing” good and evil. I wonder if the word there is similar to the idea of “knowing” your wife, e.g. having sex. Being intimate with evil and “all in”, rather than just having some knowledge of it.

I’m not sure that cyborgs would be evil, just as having a pace-maker installed is not evil in my mind. I know there is a difference in “playing God” and medical advances, just not sure where it is.

Somewhere between putting a band-aid on a cut and giving a person treatments in an attempt to change their sex.
