Christian Apologist Claims Yuval Noah Harari's Transhumanism Agenda Mirrors Ancient Drive for Self-Deification

What was said

"Harari says the 21st century has two big purposes. Number one, to solve the problem of physical death as a technical problem. The second agenda item is to increase human happiness by bioengineering cyborg engineering, mechanical implants, all this kind of thing, and turning humans into gods with a small g."

John Lennox warned that historian Yuval Noah Harari's transhumanist vision—treating physical death as a solvable technical problem and engineering humans into godlike beings—represents a modern incarnation of humanity's ancient impulse toward self-deification. Lennox argued this trend threatens foundational Western values rooted in the biblical idea that humans are made in the image of God, not aspiring to become gods themselves.
