Longevity is not immortality. What Kurzweil posits is amazing, and may happen - but isn't biblical immortality. You could be three thousand years old and still get eaten by a bear. Your "upload" could crash and burn somehow. It is, in a word, artificial. I'm all for it, on some level, and it may even be in accord with the Isaiah promise that "the one who dies at a hundred will be considered a mere youth, and the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed," but it isn't the same thing as RESURRECTION - physical and spiritual immortality, accompanied by the re-creation of all things.

Edit: the futurist vision of Kurzweil could also have a nasty turn to it - read C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength.

Haven't read it but a guy on the Tom Woods podcast did a lesson on Libertarianism in literature and he said this is the one book he would recommend from his course. It's part 3 of a trilogy but, from what he said, they aren't connected so you can skip ahead.

Me too :) In a way we already have Biblical proof of aliens. If we define alien as another created species from somewhere other than earth possessing sentience, then what are angels if not aliens?

Also, if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend CS Lewis' space trilogy. It's a series of fiction books where he explores the ideas of other planets and alien species created by God :)
