The concept of genetic engineering plays a central role in the narrative of human enhancement and transformation. A secret biotechnology laboratory successfully created human-bird hybrids through genetic engineering, resulting in children who are highly intelligent, exceptionally strong, and able to fly with wings, positioning them as beyond human, better than human, often termed posthuman or transhuman. This idea of evolving beyond humanity permeates popular culture and is taken seriously by influential figures. Transhumanism, supported by an international intellectual movement, utilizes genetics among other technologies to radically redesign human physiology and offspring. The American government, through the National Institute of Health, has granted significant funding to develop policy guidelines for genetic enhancement, seen as the next step in human evolution. Concerns arise about the moral costs and societal implications of such biotechnological advancements, with fears that humanity might be defaced by genetic modifications if humility is not embraced. Additionally, military interests drive research in human performance modification, raising worries about creating enhanced soldiers and the potential threats to national security. The possibility of cloning and genetic engineering on humans looms, with questions about whether secret labs or scientists are already experimenting in these areas.

Transhumanism, a fast-growing cultural movement, seeks to use genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology to radically redesign human minds, memories, physiology, and offspring. The intention of scientists is to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capabilities, potentially transforming humans into beings with such expanded abilities as to be labeled posthuman. This movement, founded in the 1950s by eugenicist Julian Huxley and the Rockefeller Foundation, rebrands the pseudoscience of eugenics, aiming to steer human evolution into the future. In a transhumanist society, human beings could be replaced with hyper-efficient workers, bio-robotic warriors, and other purpose-made humanoid life forms through implanted computer chips and genetically modified individuals designed to be smarter, faster, and stronger. Transhumanism envisions technology advancing to the point where humans become more machine than biology, with consciousness integrated into the infinite universe of the internet. It is a revolutionary movement blending philosophy, neuroscience, computer science, cognitive science, and biology, focusing on the future of humanity while addressing age-old questions about immortality and enlightenment. Transhumanism encourages the use of artificial enhancements to push mankind beyond human limits, often marketed as a way to reduce suffering or improve quality of life. However, taken to extremes, it can become a pursuit of immortality or an escape from moral boundaries. Transhumanists promise a future where mankind's problems are solved, offering perfect bodies, minds, and longer life, yet this vision is built on the belief in human evolution and self-improvement. This society looks to man to solve its problems, driven by the desire to integrate technology with the human body to become mentally and physically stronger than what was originally created.

Biotechnologists have, over the last thirty years, attempted to mask their controversial practices in genetic engineering by engaging in semantic manipulation. As early as 1970, an editorial in the journal of the California Medical Association highlighted the need for doctors to use deceptive language with the public to sidestep the scientific reality that human life begins at conception and continues whether inside or outside the womb until death. This was done with the intent to forge a new ethic for medicine and society. Later, in 1986, the term "pre-embryo" was introduced to describe an embryo before implantation in the womb. This term is misleading and deceptive, as an embryo remains an embryo from the moment the zygote undergoes its first cellular division, irrespective of its attachment to the womb. Using "pre-embryo" suggests that a zygote or embryo is not a human organism until it is implanted, a notion that distorts the true nature of early human development.

Only God is Creator and Lifegiver, and any man who presumes to take these divine prerogatives calls judgment upon himself. Many people have made science and technology into idols, believing that with just the right amount of research, funding, time, and a little luck, they can solve all of mankind's problems. God's answer is clear: You are nothing, and your work is nothing. He challenges them to produce, knowing that their attempts are futile and doomed. They may indeed do good or do evil to some degree, but God sees their work, and He will send His Son to establish the Kingdom of God on earth before they can do massive, irreversible harm.

Richard Ritenbaugh, citing Mark Twain's aphorism, "The art of prophecy is difficult, especially with respect to the future," points out that there are too many variables for any human to predict accurately. We can be thankful that God's prognostications and prophecies are totally trustworthy, many of which have already come to pass. God is a forecaster extraordinaire. Prophecy is the ability to forecast an event in advance. Many predictions are quite probable with regard to general predictions, but the more qualifiers and variables we add, the less probability the prophecy will work out. Some futurists, like H. G. Wells, have been successful in their prognostications, although many turned out to be duds. We should gaze forward, anticipating what God will reveal to us, becoming "nostalgic about the future," and not wistfully looking back, lingering or dallying, as did Lot and his family. By looking back, Lot's wife was boldly repudiating the will of God. Once we have made the commitment to follow God, to recount the cost would be suicidal. God has to come first before anyone else from the time of commitment and beyond. Looking back leads to "plowing a crooked furrow." Paul assured us that pressing forward to knowing Christ makes every other goal rubbish. In putting all into the goal of following and knowing Christ, we are not alone; we have a big cloud of witnesses who have provided us an example to follow something we cannot immediately see, except through the lens of faith.
