Faith Technology and the Afterlife the D
Couldn't load pickup availability
Religious and technological narratives of transcending death share surprising common ground, even as artificial intelligence and human enhancement technologies increasingly challenge traditional spiritual frameworks. Through comparative analysis of Rabbi Neil Gillman's Jewish theology of death and resurrection alongside Ray Kurzweil's technological singularity theories, profound parallels emerge between religious eschatology and technological futurism. Both domains construct mythological frameworks that assert human significance and centrality against reductionist scientific worldviews. The research analyzes primary texts from Gillman's work on afterlife mythology and Kurzweil's singularity predictions, examining them through theological and philosophical lenses while incorporating evidence from Moore's Law and exponential technological advancement patterns. As twenty-first century innovation continues to blur conventional boundaries between science and religion, our understanding of mortality, consciousness, and human identity increasingly draws from technological rather than purely religious mythologies. This convergence forces us to grapple with fundamental questions about the nature of selfhood, embodiment, and divine agency in an era where human technological enhancement reshapes our conception of transcendence.
