A Conservative Christian Critique of Religious Transhumanism

2013.04.13

Carl Teichrib presents an evangelical conservative Christian critique of religious transhumanism, identifying the core tension between historical Christianity and Christian transhumanist movements. He acknowledges that Christianity itself speaks to redemption, immortality, and perfecting—and that Christians do not oppose betterment through technology per se. However, he argues that Christian transhumanism commits the same error as Adam and Eve: declaring God insufficient and attempting to achieve salvation through human effort. Where historical Christianity teaches that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, Teichrib contends that Christian transhumanism adds "plus, plus, plus"—science, technology, social action, and good works—as qualifications for salvation, fundamentally altering the gospel message.
