Guest: Grayson Quay, author and consultant

Since the time of Eve in the Garden, the serpent’s temptation to be like God has echoed through history, and today it manifests itself in the growing transhumanist movement. Our world stands at a crossroads with commercial surrogacy, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and “gender-affirming care” threatening to radically reshape human nature.

Grayson Quay’s book, The Transhumanist Temptation: How Technology and Ideology Are Reshaping Humanity—And How to Resist, points to the ancient deception that we can replace God by rejecting the understanding that being human is a combination of body and soul. Instead, transhumanism sets up a paradigm shift which proclaims there’s nothing special about being human. Quay shows the hidden and alarming spiritual threat that transhumanism poses, exploring how this ideology distorts our relationship with our own bodies, with the world around us, with our politics, with our work, and ultimately, with God Himself.

For those seeking to understand and resist the post humanist tide, Quay offers a compelling defense of our God-given dignity and urges us to reclaim what it truly means to be human in an age of unprecedented radical change. Will we heed the warning, or will we fall for the serpent’s promise once more?
