Man Playing God & Our Dark Posthuman Future: Synthia Esther

---

God, our Creator, had a very good plan for planet earth and all living things.  Yet, many humans desire to extend our evolutionary adaptation, and all we have been given, and play god.  All of which yields to an ongoing contemporary  debate that holds the religion of technology and science verses the Religion of God's biblical laws and doctrines at heart.  Is the total depravity of humanity at hand? 

Jeremiah 17:9 states, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it?  Our radical corruptions bring forth the moral inability to discern, perceive, and know right from wrong.  Such sinful bondage is held in tact by way of a blind mind set (Romans 1:29-32).  As they are unregenerate and dead in sins (Ephesians 2:1; Colossians 2:13).

Bernard Schwatz Professor of International Political Economy at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, John Hopkins University,  Francis Fukuyama, wrote the 2002 book: Our Post Human Future - Consequences Of The Biotechnology Revolution.  He quotes geneticist Lee Silver's goals and agendas for the human race (pg.s 153-154): 

"Why not seize this power?  Why not control what has been left to chance in the past?  Indeed, we control all other aspects of our children's lives and identities through powerful social and environmental influences and , in some cases, with the use of powerful drugs like Ritalin and Prozac.  On what basis can we reject positive genetic influences on a person's essence when we accept the rights of parents to benefit their children in every other way?"

Improvement  plans for humanity Silver is so eager to use and apply, stops abruptly, as he is horrified  when  those among us desire to create a class of genetically superior people.  He paints a scenario in which a class called the GenRich steadily improve the cognitive abilities of their children to the point that they break off from the rest of human race to form a separate species.  Yet  he is not horrified about the prospects of unnatural reproduction.

Cited is the example of "two lesbians producing genetic offspring, or eggs taken from an unborn female fetus to produce a child whose mother had never been born".  All moral and religious concerns are dismissed as they relate to such matters.  However, Silver "draws the line" when questions of human equality surface.  

Fukuyama writes concerning Silver's ill gained thought processes:  "He does not seem to understand, given his premises, there are no possible grounds on which he can object to the GenRich, or the fact that they might assign themselves rights superior to those of the GenPoor."

Much as Adolf Hitler desired a super race,  superior man.  When Technology and biogenetics merge unrestrained, humanity and all living life suffers greatly! Fukuyana confirmed, when bioethicist Peter Singer was appointed to Princeton University, controversy mounted due to his "advocacy of infanticide and euthanasia under certain circumstances."  There are "consequences of abandoning the concept of human dignity."   He also argued, that "the greatest advances still to come will be in the life sciences."

He cited the possibility "that our posthuman world could be one that is far more hierarchical and competitive than the one that currently exists, and  full of social conflict as a result.  It could be one in which any notion of 'shared humanity' is lost, because we have mixed human genes with those of so many other species that we no longer have a clear idea of what a human being is. It could be one in which the median person is living well into his or her second century, sitting in a nursing home hoping for an unattainable death.  Or it could be the kind of soft tyranny envisioned in Brave New World, in which everyone is healthy and happy but has forgotten the meaning of hope, fear, or struggle." (Pg. 218).

HUMAN DIGNITY AND GOD'S HOLY LAW AND ORDER:

The biotechnology revolution in America, has allowed those in leadership  to rule and reign, planning and plotting an evolutionary future that we as Christian's cannot spiritually and morally accept. The fate of the unborn child by way of abortion is one of many murderous plights, we desire and hope to change.  When we remain in the gripping power to fund, fuel, feed and support such dark, dystopian agendas and plans, our nation is not blessed by God (Romans 1:18-32).  

The harmful effects of Geoengineering, 5G technologies, cell phone and cell tower cancer radiation risks, and genetically modified foods (GMO's) we are made to eat, per examples, are only the beginning of this fast pace race of unholy order.  As our life source and resources are being structured for power, control, and financial gain, above humanities  health and welfare considerations. 

The fear of the Lord leads to life! (Proverbs 19:23).  Jesus who came to set the captive free (Mark 5:1-20).  Therefore, we pray for our leadership to turn their hearts towards God, for we know He alone is our solution of hope!  Those who desire to walk in His covenant plan and become born again (Jeremiah 31:33; John 3:5), are supernaturally changed!   As He writes His law within our hearts and minds,  we become reoriented towards loving and serving Him.  Changing not only our personal spiritual disposition, but our nation at large as well (Numbers 14:8; 1 Kings 4:25; Psalm 29:11; Exodus 23:25-26).
