   Genesis 1:27   
   So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;   
   male and female created he them.   
      
   * * *   
      
   1. What does this mean: in the image of God man was created?   
      
   2. Does "transhuman" mean "more human" or that being human is   
   transcended and obsoleted?   
      
   3. Are mechanic parts and AI brains to supplement or to completely   
   outshine and obsolete the creation of God Creator?   
      
   4. First, let's go back to basics, the very Genesis report on creation.   
   God created male and female. In His own image.   
      
   What can be more perfect than that?   
      
   5. Are our feeble and vulnerable bodies in need for an exoskeleton   
   enhancement, in imitation of reptiles and turtles?   
      
   6. Is the "incarnation" or "in-device-ation" of human mind going to   
   obsolete reincarnation and/or resurrection?   
      
   7. Will debugging of the mind "incarnated" in technology and acquiring   
   more data replace the need to save the fallen state of man through the   
   Messiah?   
      
   8.1. Data doesn't equal information   
   (there can be a lot of data that is simply random noise).   
   8.2. Gathering of information doesn't equal knowledge   
   (There is a lot of trivial information that doesn't contribute to knowledge)   
   8.3. Increasing knowledge doesn't amount to wisdom, though it might.   
   (Our own intelligence sometimes works used against us.)   
   8.4. Wisdom doesn't equal moral or good decisions   
   (Ahitophel's advice to Absolom, son of David to sleep with his concubines   
   in the open really worked for a time for Absolom, but it also brought to his   
   demise; Babylonians were very wise, as were Egyptians)   
   8.5. Does enough of good and moral deeds equal salvation?   
   (The just men of Old Testament could at most wait in Abraham's bosom   
   with poor Lazarus until the Messiah.)   
      
   9. How can a machine become good and moral? Will it not just use   
   its advantage in intelligence and military capability to exterminate   
   us as a lower form of existence?   
   9.1. Are Asimov's laws sufficient, or does the AI or transhuman   
   being require a better code - maybe based on the Ten Commandments?   
   9.2. Has mankind made a better set of laws that are not based on   
   the Ten Commandments, and how it ended up?   
   9.3. If our own laws always ended in demise in the past, is that the proof   
   of the supernatural origin of the Ten Commandments? Cosmic or   
   non-material?   
      
   10. The machines eventually wear out and computers became obsoleted   
   beyond maintenance. How will a transhuman feel if his model is   
   end-of-life?   
      
   Keep on asking questions ...   
      
   in the LORD God Merciful, Longsuffering   
   Amen
