Transhumanism

Full Title - "On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

Dr. Michael Ruse, Professor of Philosophy and Zoology University of Guelph, Canada. - “Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion, a full-fedged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality. I am an ardent evolutionist and an ex-Christian, but I must admit that in this one complaint the literalists are absolutely right. Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today."  -- https://www.news24.com/MyNews24/Is-Evolution-a-Religion-20130513

"It is emphatically the case that life could not arise spontaneously in a primeval soup of any kind...Furthermore, no geological evidence indicates an organic soup ever existed on this planet. We may therefore with fairness call this scenario 'the myth of the pre-biotic soup'"- Sir Fred Hoyle

"There are only two possible explanations as to how life arose: Spontaneous generation arising to evolution or a supernatural creative act of God...There is no other possibility. Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved 120 years ago by Louis Pasteur and others, but that just leaves us with only one possibility...that life came as a supernatural act of creation by God, but I can't accept that philosophy because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation leading to evolution."- Dr. George Wald

On "Transhumanism" — "the concept of radical human transformation remains unfamiliar to the public in general, and its naturalness and inevitability has not yet entered the public imagination. The public and even much of the intellectual community remain ignorant or in denial of the most  4 Human Purpose and Transhuman Potential significant potential changes ahead. This is starting to change in a very modest way, with technology pioneers and futurists such as Ray Kurzweil and the Singularity Institute making bold post-anthropic declarations in mainstream media. But despite the general lack of public awareness, it is becoming increasingly clear that technologies such as cloning, stem cell research, and genetic engineering are increasing the ability to alter not just nature but human nature. Scientists are developing and utilizing technologies to modify both the human body and the human mind; and they are dreaming of going further than science-fiction fantasies in terms of the capabilities of their creations." -- http://transhumanpotential.com/htptwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/HPATP_chp01.pdf
