Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Artificial intelligence, gene editing, robot companionship & many more technological changes in our near future present challenges to Christian theology and what it means to be a human.
My guest, Micah Redding is attempting to bring Christian theology into conversations that have seemed to many to be largely anti-religious. Micah is the Executive Director of the Christian Transhumanist Association.
What is "transhumanism"? Micah explains & lays out a theological case for Christians to be leading the way in the transhumanist movement.
Plus many other provoking philosophical and theological challenges such as:
- Can a machine have a soul or spirit or consciousness?
-Will churches in the near future have to provide ethical instruction for how Christians should treat robots?
-Is Darth Vader "human"? What makes us human?
-C.S. Lewis' "Space Trilogy", SciFi tv & movies & transhumanism
-Is it "playing God" to edit human genes to eliminate diseases & harmful hereditary conditions, or is that part of the Christian calling to act as healers in the world?
And much more!!
