The ‘Oldest’ Lie in Satan’s Book of Lies; The ‘Promise’ of Transhumanism (that we can be ‘live’ or be as Gods forever, an eternal life, in a ‘mortal and fallen state’ apart from Christ.) And Eve took a ‘bit out of the apple,’ believing the lie of serpent that she could live and be as a ‘god’ forever.
Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: (Satan’s LIE)
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (Satan’s LIE)
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
(Naked = sinned, disobeyed, didn’t take God seriously, didn’t follow the ‘instructions’ or ‘didn’t take God at His word.’ Adam knew he ‘screwed up’ BIG TIME, but didn’t realize that his mistake caused ALL of mankind to live in a ‘fallen / sinful’ state ever since. Hence, the need for Jesus Christ’s salvation to ‘fix things and get things right’ between man and God. Adam tried to ‘cover-up’ the fact that he sinned, so he blamed the woman. And the woman in turn blamed the serpent. And in turn, God ‘displaced’ Adam and Eve and the Serpent out of the Garden of Eden. )
From biblical times to the present, there has been an ongoing battle between good and evil that has been waged. On one side, there are those who believe in a higher power and that mankind was made in the image of God, which is an immutable constant not to be trifled with or corrupted by human beings. Another way of saying that is that people in this camp believe that human nature itself has been immutable and constant through the millennia and that only by looking to God can mankind improve their condition.
On the other side are those who deny the existence of God. They believe that mankind is the supreme intelligence in control of human destiny, is malleable and can be shaped through science, and can evolve to a superior form of man through planning and experimentation by “natural leaders” over time. Therefore, in their view, there are no moral or religious constraints on the practices intended to evolve mankind toward some conceived—and ever-changing—vision of the future.
‘One bad, rotten apple (5) spoiled the barrel of humanity.’
Transhumanists take science as their religion and believe in a philosophy of “absolute relativism” that claims that individuals can change reality at will, and they seek to “relativize the human being” and “turn it into a putty that can be modified or molded to our taste and our desire and by rejecting those limits nature or God have placed on us.”
Transhumanism therefore requires “the destruction of “the Judeo-Christian morality, which is based on absolute principles and values.”
Ultimate end: redefining and reconfiguring the human nature and condition. A fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines among the physical, digital and biological spheres.
Those technologies include genetic engineering such as CRISPR genetic editing, artificial intelligence (A.I.), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, and quantum computing.
Transhumanists propose to use technology to alter human nature to produce human beings with “super longevity, super intelligence, super well-being.”
They reject the Christian belief in absolute truth, and that God created human person in His image and likeness, and see absolute values as “a brake for their pretensions of transhumanist and globalist progressivism.” (‘Lost Imager Status,’ ‘Eternal Damnation for taking the ‘Mark, Number or Name,’ ‘And they became vain in their imaginations.’)
Transhumanists propose to increase longevity by using CRISPR genetic editing.
The newest effort by the godless camp to meddle with the natural course of humanity is the transhumanism movement, which seeks to accelerate “human evolution” through advanced technologies. It is a segue from eugenics because it aims to “enhance” the human species through the addition of advanced biological and physical (mechanical, biomechanical) technologies or, as Britannica puts it, “to augment or increase human sensory reception, emotive ability, or cognitive capacity as well as radically improve human health and extend human life spans.”
In short, the goal is to create super-humans who will live forever. Just like eugenics, there is no natural selection involved, but rather a selective implementation by and for those willing to pay the cost (and to be experimented upon). And there is no limit to the experimentation and no ethical constraints on applying the technologies.
First came eugenics, then came abortion on demand and infanticide, and now there is the new horizon posed by transhumanism. That is the evolution of an evil kind! None of these have moral, ethical, or religious constraints—all are arbitrary, determined by those holding political power.

High-Tech Healthcare and Digital Twins
Amongst its raft of hugely ambitious plans, Neom wants to attract potential residents by promoting itself as a cutting-edge destination for health and well-being, with state-of-the-art medical facilities and “world-class” treatment of disease. Multi-specialty smart hospitals will be distributed across the city delivering an array of automated services. Dr. Maliha Hashmi is an executive director at Neom and Deputy Sector Head for the city’s Health & Well-being and Biotech Sector. She said:
“This advanced system will be based on proactive prevention, not just treatment. The focus will be on pain management, muscular and skeletal diseases and cancer, as well as a balanced overall approach to well-being.”
A dedicated digital infrastructure, integrating genetic and smart technologies with artificial intelligence, will see Neom offer real-time assessments and “digital twins” to both residents and visitors. Hashmi said:
“At the point of entry, everyone—both Neomians and visitors—will have the opportunity to have a digital twin of themselves created. This will lead to personalized and precise medical treatment. General treatment pathways will be removed and everything will be catered to a person’s specific genomic profile. These methods exist today, but simply haven’t been brought to scale at this level yet.”
From Jeff Bezos to Jack Dorsey, here are 14 the world’s wealthiest entrepreneurs trying to crack the code of living forever
Lakshmi Varanasi Sun, January 29, 2023 at 7:20 AM EST
- A growing number of the world’s richest entrepreneurs are using their wealth to fight aging.
- They’re taking supplements, abiding by austere fitness routines, and investing millions into longevity research.
- Insider rounded up a list of 14 entrepreneurs actively seeking the fountain of youth.
Tech billionaire Peter Thiel may be best known for co-founding companies like PayPal, Palantir Technologies and donating to Republican political candidates, but he’s also funneled millions into the field of longevity research.
In 2012, he told Insider, “There are all these people who say that death is natural, it’s just part of life, and I think that nothing can be further from the truth.”
Thiel was an early investor in Unity Biotechnology, a company that develops drugs to target aging cells. In 2006, also pledged $3.5 million to the Methuselah Foundation, a nonprofit focused on anti-aging research by way of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. By 2017, he had boosted that investment to $7 million.
He’s reportedly signed up with the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a nonprofit that focuses on cryonics, the practice of freezing of human corpses to stop the aging process. He’s made several investments in biotechnology companies through the Thiel Foundation, and a handful through his venture firm, Founder Fund.
Insider’s Cadie Thompson reported that in 2003, Oracle founder Larry Ellison told his biographer, “Death has never made any sense to me. How can a person be there and then just vanish, just not be there?”
Ellison has devoted millions over the years to fighting that mysterious phenomenon.
In 1997, he founded the Ellison Medical Foundation, which “supports basic biomedical research on aging relevant to understanding lifespan development processes and age-related diseases and disabilities,” Insider reported based on its website.
Until the foundation stopped funding new anti-aging research in 2013, approximately 80% of the $430 million in grants the foundation awarded to medical researchers were directed to the cause.
By 2020, Vox reported that Ellison was disbanding the program entirely to refocus on fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2013, Google co-founder Larry Page announced the launch of the California Life Company, more commonly known as Calico Labs.
The goal of Calico Labs — which falls under the umbrella of Google’s parent company, Alphabet— is to research aging and develop medicines to combat age-related diseases, according to its website.
In 2014, Calico Labs began working with biopharmaceutical company, AbbVie, towards developing therapies against age-related diseases in an initiative that has received billions in investment.
Calico Labs has also been credited recently as the forerunner to Altos Labs, a cell-rejuvenation startup that reportedly claims Jeff Bezos as an investor.
However, Calico co-founder Bill Maris also told Insider in 2020 that he was “disappointed” with the lack of visible progress Calico has made in the field.
Sergey Brin
Sergey Brin’s interest in longevity research might be more personal than his fellow tech billionaires.
In 2008, the Google co-founder revealed in a blog post that he had a genetic mutation that made him more susceptible to Parkinson’s disease.
Over the years, Brin has poured more than $1 billion into research on the disease, Forbes reported in December, citing people familiar with his philanthropy.
Brin has also spearheaded several ventures devoted to stopping the aging clock. In addition to investing money into Calico Labs, he also announced in 2015 that Google’s Life Sciences team would become an independent unit under Alphabet, and rebranded to Verily Life Sciences. It has since worked on wearable tech initiatives, like the Verily Study Watch, which aims to help people live a healthier life.
Mark Zuckerberg
Insider’s Cadie Thompson reported that in 2015, the late physicist Stephen Hawking asked Mark Zuckerberg about which big questions in science he sought answers to.
Zuckerberg responded, “I’m most interested in questions about people. What will enable us to live forever? How do we cure all diseases? How does the brain work? How does learning work and how we can empower humans to learn a million times more?”
One of the ways he might be answering those questions is through the Breakthrough Prize, a set of $3 million prizes give to “the world’s top scientists working in the fundamental sciences – the disciplines that ask the biggest questions and find the deepest explanations,” according to its website.
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are among a small crop of Silicon Valley elite who founded the prize in 2012, and continue to back it.
In 2016— after he and Chan committed millions to curing infectious diseases through their philanthropic initiative, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative— Zuckerberg said, “by the time we get to the end of this century, it will be pretty normal for people to live past 100.”
Sean Parker
Sean Parker is widely recognized as co-founder of the file-sharing service Napster, and later, Facebook’s first president.
But he also struggles with life-threatening food allergies, and has dedicated millions into funding research in the life sciences.
In 2015, he launched the Parker Foundation with an initial investment of $600 million. The goal of the foundation was to fund programs in life sciences, global public health, and civic engagement, Insider reported, following its launch.
A year later, he founded the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, PICI, in order to “accelerate the development of breakthrough immune therapies to turn all cancers into curable diseases,” according to its website.
PICI has now created several research centers in partnership with the top institutes in the country including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Stanford Medicine, adding partnerships with the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco and Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2022, according to STAT.
Jack Dorsey
Some might call Jack Dorsey the former CEO of Twitter, or the current CEO of mobile payment company Block, once known as Square.
Others, like New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles, call him the Gwyneth Paltrow for Silicon Valley.
The metonym is the result of Dorsey’s fastidious commitment to wellness. He has admitted to eating one meal per day, fasting on weekends, taking ice baths, waking up at 5 a.m. every morning, and meditating for two hours in order to optimize his cognitive performance.
Dorsey said his regimented schedule came from the stress of running a company like Twitter.
“When I went back to Twitter and took on the second job, I got super-serious about meditation and I got really serious about just dedicating a lot more of my time and energy to working out and staying physically healthy and looking more critically at my diet,” Dorsey said, after taking helm of the platform again in 2015.
“I had to. Just to stay above water.” he added.
Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos is reportedly an investor in Altos Labs, a biotech startup with a goal “to restore cell health and resilience through cellular rejuvenation programming to reverse disease, injury, and the disabilities that can occur throughout life,” according to its website.
The company — which launched in 2022 — has already been incorporated in the US and UK, and has plans to establish institutes in more locations like the Bay Area, San Diego, Cambridge, UK and Japan, according to MIT Technology Review.
Altos Labs is also, “recruiting a large cadre of university scientists with lavish salaries and the promise that they can pursue unfettered blue-sky research on how cells age and how to reverse that process,” MTR reported.
Yuri Milner
Yuri Milner is Russian-born billionaire who made his money as an early backer of Facebook and Twitter.
According to MIT Technology Review, Milner and his wife Julia are also investors in Altos Labs.
Milner has also made hefty donations to advancing scientific research in the years.
The Milner’s are backers of the Breakthrough Prize, a set of $3 million awards given to remarkable physicists, biologists, and mathematicians, that also claims supporters like Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and 23andMe founder Anne Wojcicki.
In 2021, the Milky Way Research Foundation — a nonprofit sponsored by Milner according to MTR — gave out three-year grants of $1 million a year to longevity researchers.
One of the projects examined a method of cellular reprogramming which might eventually “facilitate the discovery of novel anti-ageing genes and therapies,” according to its abstract.
Dmitry Itskov
Dmitry Itskov is the founder of the online media company, New Media Stars.
But what he’s really made headlines for is his quest for immortality.
In 2011, Itskov launched a nonprofit called the 2045 Initiative. According to its website, through something called the “main science mega-project” the nonprofit:
“Aims to create technologies enabling the transfer of a individual’s personality to a more advanced non-biological carrier, and extending life, including to the point of immortality. We devote particular attention to enabling the fullest possible dialogue between the world’s major spiritual traditions, science and society.”
Its goal, in other words, is to use technology to create avatars with hologram bodies and synthetic brains that will be rewired with human personalities.
And it’s all supposed to be completed by the year 2045.
“This is the time when substance-independent minds will receive new bodies with capacities far exceeding those of ordinary humans. A new era for humanity will arrive!” the site notes.
David Murdock
David Murdock, the former chairman of Dole, has a more modest request than other billionaires. The 99 year-old just wants to make to the age of 125.
Murdock apparently became fixated on his health after losing his third wife to cancer, according to Insider’s summary of a New York Times profile from 2011.
His diet, as of 2011, was limited to seafood, egg whites, beans, nuts. He avoided dairy, red meat, and even salt, sugar, and alcohol. He lifted weights several times a week, took brisk walks on the treadmill, and tried to maintain a weight of 140 pounds, Insider noted.
Aside from his personal routine, Murdock has also directed millions into scientific research on food science and nutrition. He’s spent a reported $500 million on developing a public-private research center called North Carolina Research Campus, according to the NYT.
The NYT described it as “a scientific center dedicated to his conviction that plants, eaten in copious quantities and the right variety, hold the promise of optimal health and maximal life span.”
Robert G. Miller
Robert Miller is a Canadian businessman who founded Future Electronics, a distributor of electronic equipment.
While Miller has largely maintained his distance from the press over the years, a Forbes story from 2014 mentions his interest in cryonics— the freezing of human bodies to restore life in the future.
Miller is reportedly an investor in Alcor Life Extension, a nonprofit dedicated to cryonics, and intends to be cryo-preserved after his death, according to Fortune.
Bryan Johnson
The 45-year-old biotech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson has the heart of 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lungs of a young adult, according to Insider’s summary of a Bloomberg story from January 25.
Johnson seems to be reversing, or at least stopping, the aging clock through an intense regimen of exercise, diet, and daily supplements guided physician Oliver Zolman, who calls himself a “rejuvenation doctor” Insider noted.
The entrepreneur’s daily routine starts at 5 am with a mouthful of supplements including lycopene, metformin, turmeric, zinc, and others, Insider noted.
Johnson also maintains a vegan diet of solid and soft food that total up to around 1,977 calories a day, Insider noted.
In 2021 alone he achieved a world record age reversal of 5.1 years, Insider noted.
Anne Wojcicki
Anne Wojcicki, founder of the genetic testing company 23andMe, is among a handful of women investing in the longevity space. While 23andMe is not explicitly focused on longevity the company’s blog has several posts on the topic.
Wojcicki — the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin — is both board member and along with Brin, backer of the Breakthrough Prize.
In 2022, she also invested in the Series A round of Gameto, a biotechnology company with a mission to reprogram ovarian cells to slow down the aging in the ovary.
But how can they call on him (Jesus Christ) to save them unless they believe in him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they believe in him (Jesus Christ) if they have never heard about him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they hear about him (Jesus Christ) unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.
. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).
. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).
. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).
. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).
. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).
. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).
. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
True Church / Bride of Christ Spared from God’s Wrath:

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”
Romans 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Romans 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Jeremiah 30:7. Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
