Religious Transhumanism 11: What about the body?

Last updated on: July 1, 2023 at 10:40 am   By Ted Peters

1 Comment

Over against the cybernetic immortality sought by H+, theologian Jaimie Fowler celebrates -- especially in this highly technological age -- "that we ARE our bodies! Our individual bodies contribute to our individual identities. As a Lutheran, I believe that all bodies matter. When God assumed existence in Jesus, God did not fail to assume a body! To that end, Christ was resurrected to new life with God, a new Life that still included a BODY." Read more

Astrotheology as Public Theology

Last updated on: April 22, 2023 at 8:15 pm   By Ted Peters

2 Comments

One the one hand, the Copernican Principle means that cosmic consciousness provides us on Earth with a perspective. Space is big, magnificent, unfathomable. We are small. On the other hand, in an oblique and distorted way, cosmic consciousness prompts awareness of our own fallenness. Our own needless violence. Our own insane penchant for self-destruction. Read more
