Yesterday I rewatched the movie Prometheus, which asks the question why did our creator(s) make us? I don't think it really provides an answer.
This morning, quite by accident, I found this op-ed in the Jerusalem Post:
https://www.jpost.com/opinion/why-do-we-exist-understanding-the-torahs-missing-verse-opinion-682719
So, according to contemporary Jewish thought, we couldn't even understand why G-d made us. Isn't that a fine kettle of fish?
But I do think we're able to understand why transhumanists would like to alter G-d's creation - so THEY can replace Him as the controller of our universe. That's their dream, anyway.
And that's something we should be able to prevent. You think G-d would do this for us, but could we even understand if He didn't ... and why He wouldn't? I think the Book of Revelation provides part of the answer, but how many people really understand that cryptic missive?
