Omni-synergy and the Singularity: Looking Both Ways at the Intersection of Science and Theology

Abstract

This article will exemplify John David Trentham's Inverse Consistency Protocol (ICP) in analyzing Ray Kurzweil's seminal work: "The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology." If Kurzweil’s vision of transhumanism becomes viable, Christian educators will face unprecedented implications and challenges. This article will serve as a primer into Kurzweil’s vision and seek to initiate scholarly conversation toward a much-needed Christian worldview response—a response that would be greatly benefited from wisdom gained by foresight, not hindsight.
