AI and Radical Life Extension. Afterlife 17

Last updated on: October 16, 2023 at 4:46 pm By Ted Peters

Like a volcano, AI potential is spreading excitement and turmoil across the landscape. We must ask: will there be a connection between AI and Radical Life Extension? Certainly our transhumanist friends think so. How does Radical Life Extension and its partner, Cybernetic Immortality, compare with religious visions of the afterlife? Read more

Science and Religion in Big History

Last updated on: November 13, 2023 at 9:58 am By Ted Peters

Science, Religion, and Deep Time

Last updated on: February 14, 2025 at 10:23 am By Ted Peters

The terrific new book, "Science, Religion, and Deep Time," is an honest attempt to resolve a conundrum within Big History's methodology: how should religion be treated within an evidence-based epistemology that relies on science? Unfortunately, big historians presuppose the falsity of ancient creation myths along with claims of transcendent reality. Big History sells a brand of naturalism. I argue that a naturalistic ideology is unwarranted when attending to an evidence-based rendering of Big History. Read more
