I am relaatively new to even the idea of transhumanism, and although i don't practise any religion, i can say that the majority would take my comment as a theological one. And it may be, who knows? I believe fully that my ancestors were never apes, gorillas, chimpanzees, or any other primate form. I do, however, believe that however, that who or what ever created us meant for us to learn, and to go beyond the stigmata that is religion. I also believe that application of that knowledge wa in the cards also, for lack of a better analogy. The scientific community at large believes that any applicatation of faith in any progress is detrimental, although it's evident that it would ease passages for many fields. As i said, i don't follow a religion, yet I am a person who believes in right and wrong, good and evil, I teach those things to my own children, and while that may seem irrelevant, i am , for one, glad that the hurdle is brought up as often as it is. You don't need to believe in anything to have a moral opinion, and again there, i believe that the scientific community at large ignore even their own beliefs, which , again, creates complications where none need exist. It can be presented in such a way as to pacifyy pretty much everyone, and it's a Completely glorious thing. Just a hint, ya know?
