Humans & Transhumanists
from The Table TX Hosted by The Table
In “Humans & Transhumanists,” Brett reflects on the Genesis story of Adam, Eve, and the serpent to explore what it means to be creatures in a technological age increasingly obsessed with transcendence. Reading the garden narrative not as science but as spiritual insight into the human condition, he connects the serpent’s promise — “You will not surely die… you will be like God” — to modern transhumanist visions of merging with machines and overcoming mortality. While affirming the genuine good technology can accomplish in reducing suffering, this sermon draws a thoughtful line between healing human limits and attempting to erase them altogether. Rather than grasping for control, mastery, and pseudo-immortality, Brett invites us to embrace our fragility, dependence, and embodied humanity as gifts — remembering that technology exists to serve creatures, not replace them.
