The E-Priest, Say Mormon Transhumanists -- We
Are Making Progress Toward Becoming Gods
H+: Is the Mormons religion
compatible with transhumanism? LC:
Most Mormon Transhumanists consider our
religion to be remarkably compatible with
transhumanism. We consider Mormonism to
be a religious transhumanism. Eternal
progression is a central doctrine of
Mormonism. Basically, the idea is that
we have all existed in some form or another
into the indefinite past, that we have been
and are progressing toward becoming like God
in a creative and benevolent capacity, and
that we should each help others do the same
into the indefinite future. Mormon
scripture asserts the work of God to be that
of bringing about immortality and eternal
life, and invites us all to participate in
that work. Mormon scripture also situates us
in the "Dispensation of the Fullness of
Times", when God is accelerating the
work, inspiring us with greater knowledge and
endowing us with greater power in preparation
for the prophesied millennium, a time of
transfiguration, immortality, resurrection,
renewal of this world, and ultimately the
discovery and creation of worlds without
end. Early Mormon prophets, Joseph Smith
and Brigham Young, suggested that we would
begin performing the ordinance of
transfiguration before the millennium, and
that immortals would begin performing the
ordinance of resurrection during the
millennium.
