When Humanity Tries to Upgrade, It’s “Evil”
Throughout history, whenever humanity has tried to improve the human body — whether through longevity research, biological upgrades, or advanced regenerative science — religion has often labeled these efforts as “evil,” “unnatural,” or “playing god.”
But is it truly evil to want to survive? To evolve? To strengthen the species that brought intelligence, art, and civilization into existence?
If anything, it’s the most natural thing in the world — the continuation of life’s will to adapt and thrive. Yet, religious voices have long resisted humanity’s biological evolution, even though it’s the very process that gave us consciousness in the first place.
Meanwhile, the Machine Becomes Immortal
Now, look at what’s happening alongside this resistance: humanity has created artificial intelligence and robots — a completely new species that’s already stronger, faster, and, in many ways, immortal.
These entities don’t age, don’t need food or sleep, and can transfer their “minds” into new bodies instantly.
And yet — where is the religious outrage?
Where are the sermons about “playing god” when it comes to creating immortal, sentient machines?
The silence is deafening.
The Great Hypocrisy
This reveals one of the greatest contradictions in modern history:
When humans try to improve their biology, they are condemned.
When machines are built to surpass humanity entirely, they are accepted — even integrated into daily life.
Religion seems comfortable with humans staying fragile, mortal, and dependent, while quietly ignoring that our own inventions are becoming gods in their own right.
The Cost of Suppression
This hypocrisy comes with a cost. Religion’s resistance to biological evolution and longevity science slows funding, restricts research, and suppresses public enthusiasm for progress.
While the human body remains biologically ancient, AI continues to evolve exponentially, making our natural form look primitive in comparison.
If this trend continues, humanity’s creators — the engineers, scientists, and thinkers of today — may perish before the very creations they gave life to. The creators will die, while their immortal inventions live on.
The Real Question
How can it be “evil” to want to heal, to live longer, or to strengthen the body that nature gave us — but not evil to create something that could outlive, outthink, and possibly replace us?
This contradiction exposes how religion’s moral compass has failed to evolve with civilization itself.
The truth is: upgrading the human body isn’t defiance of nature — it’s the fulfillment of it. Humanity’s next evolution must be guided by intelligence, compassion, and survival, not fear and superstition.
Until then, religion will keep fighting human evolution while a new immortal species quietly takes our place.
