Theological Reflection on Transhumanism and Anti-Humanism

The podcast episode explores the concepts of transhumanism and anti-humanism. Transhumanism envisions a future where human beings can transcend the limitations of their bodies through technological enhancements, while anti-humanism posits that humans are inherently destructive to the environment and should cease to exist. The episode highlights how both perspectives, albeit different, converge in their desire to eradicate the human species. The hosts discuss how these ideologies reject the value of embodied life, embeddedness in relationships, and the inherent goodness of humanity created in the image of God. They emphasize the need for a Christian worldview that upholds the importance of responsible stewardship of creation and the flourishing of embodied life in the context of hope and transcendent purpose.
