Post described what transhumanism theism and focused on a common goal. Namely,
on the development of type person. As part of the overall goal, at the junction
of these two worldviews, common areas were formed. In this blog, for the
equivalent of Christian monotheism will be taken, since I was more versed in
the religion than in others.
Church
and science relate to each other more closely than it seems. That church was
the concentration of all the scientists, thinkers and philosophers of the
Middle Ages. It is in its walls began the first experiments with the selection,
the invention of gunpowder and printing presses. The only thing that prevented
the church to move on the same level with the progress - is conservatively.
Radical
changes in the genes of human biochemistry, or other experiences that may have
a negative effect on the body - the Church forbids.
On the
other hand, the medicine out from under the wing of the monks and continued to
grow regardless of the religion and its prohibitions.
Medical
useful and savings imply a healthy body healthy mind in it. And how else can
people do God's will?
The Church
is not paranoid, considering medicine crucifix and holy water. Biotechnology is
not prohibited in Christianity. At least the ones that have proven to be
harmless and useful.
Drawing an
analogy with the literature, we can give you an example from the book by Sergei
Lukyanenko "clean copy". The main character was in a world subject to
the laws of religion, which wired role played by biotechnology.
Yes,
Christianity is forbidden to interfere with the human body. But it is
condescending to changes of other bodies and organisms and using them as a
basis, we can make certain conclusions.
The
synthesis of religion and science is going on within a very narrow corridor,
but the effect is even such a weak interaction - is enormous.
