Technology has been providing benefits for our society for centuries. Mankind’s curiosity allowed scientists to push the boundary of our scientific and technical limits to reach goals that were thought impossible until not too long ago.

If we factor in how science has now managed to control human behavior, then even if a person wants to do wrong, technology will not permit people to be immoral as easily as it was done before. Therefore, science downplayed already the role religion served as a tool to attempt to arrive at ethical truths. Likewise, if we factor in what in 2015, Sergio Canavero, an Italian neurosurgeon, announced in relation to eventually performing the first human head transplant (Canavero already has volunteers lined up to take part in this surgical procedure). Odds are science is going to put lots of religions out of business if the scientific revolution that mankind is knowing continues to be as effective. When all things are considered, or let us say when humankind’s awareness and superintelligence become fully centered on how to extend longevity, which is not the case fully now. There is a good chance that science will further downplay the relationship between reality and the order of existence.

Neurosurgeons have been attempting to graft the head of an organism onto the body of another from as early as the 1900s. In fact, in 1981, the Vatican established a commission on biomedical ethics as a result of the large number of head transplant experiments performed on human cadavers and animals. Some scholars even argue that the work of this commission influenced the church’s stance on brain death and in vitro fertilization.

In the near future, we could potentially see the first successful head ttransplant. In other words, if neurosurgeons manage to take the head and brain out, isolate it, reconnect it, and keep a person alive, this operation means that mankind began a new phase in super longevity and in how to live forever. This breakthrough will be an opportunity and a threat to certain religions.

For example, the prophecies that are depicted in the Bible in the Old Testament about mankind’s days being only a maximum of a hundred and twenty years will no longer be a condition. Most importantly, the Old Testament reference stating that people can live longer than a maximum of 120 years will no longer be considered a myth.

On the other hand, neurosurgeons manage to figure out a way to connect the nervous systems and the spinal cord, thus permitting many people who are handicapped to stand up and live a normal life. Handicap people will not be the only members of the human family who would want to benefit from a head transplant operation. The people who want to replace their old body or worn organs with a younger one to extend their longevity would now be able to take advantage of this surgical procedure as well.

Individuals who graft their heads onto the bodies of others to extend their lifespan will be able to work on their projects for a longer period. However, the person who would be walking around will manage to have his personality retained.

We have no way of knowing what peace and security would be like when people start to preserve their personality. People’s disregard for human rights could not be expected to change whether people live up to only a maximum of a hundred and twenty years or longer. Most likely, people’s focus will shift to deepen research to discover a way for man to live forever.

Understanding our place in the universe or relating humanity to an order of existence has been universal. At the same time, man’s curiosity to push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits stems solely from the desire to figure out how to live forever.

Progress in the medical field is continuous. When Canavero or future neurosurgeons successfully perform a head transplant surgical procedure, it will represent a significant medical breakthrough. This medical breakthrough could have implications for religiosity. This progress means that if a personality can be retained, then consciousness can be transplanted. if the personality and consciousness can be transplanted. This signifies that the human spirit or soul can be transplanted.

Heaven may not be as populated as religious beliefs suggest, even when neurosurgeons successfully manage to transplant souls. For example, the church’s lure to people to compromise on certain actions in exchange for a spot in heaven may require a new strategy, especially after science put the field of moral ethics that religion used to practice out of business. However, in the final analysis, as science is continuing to encroach on religiosity, could we expect religion to always be with us, shrink, or, as some people claim, be replaced by something bigger?

We have no way of knowing if humankind’s curiosity to live forever is something that man could arrive at through the intermediary of science. Scientists are already undertaking exploration missions to locations beyond our solar system to look for substances that could maintain life and growth, which doesn’t depend on food or matter.

What we also do know is that the Bible reports that God instructed mankind to not distinguish between good and evil; otherwise, a person would die (Genesis 2:17). If this statement is true, science cannot be the vehicle to reach living forever, because this means that the more knowledge deepens, the more the life of a person becomes vulnerable. In effect, in 2003, Salim Maloof showed that knowledge increases crises and conflicts and vice versa using calculus.

On the other hand, it looks as if the path to reach living forever doesn’t require mounting exploration missions to outer space to figure out the way. Humans can manage to figure it out from here on earth and simply through the intermediary of human reason.

In the Bible, in the Old Testament, it is reported that God placed a cherubim and a flaming sword to guard against man putting his hands on how to live forever (Genesis 3:24) after this first creation disobeyed him.

Therefore, a prerequisite for man to live forever begins with mankind triumphing first at establishing the initial condition that the Bible claims God instructed mankind on how this species should live, not distinguishing between good and evil, in order to afterwards begin to look for clues.

Ultimately, the people who lived before the story of the fall of man did not establish relationships or political systems based on this principle. Since that date, no civilization agreed to establish conditions in which people would influence unnatural changes in matter using the human body or without relying on human reason to distinguish between good and evil. How people could reach the tree of life to live forever is irrelevant.

On the surface, it appears as if the more longevity expands, the more the threat of people committing immoral acts increases reciprocally. Religiosity is a permanent fixture. After this life cycle ends, religion will flourish once again until a new Socrates is born to show people that mankind should establish an ethical system based on human reason rather than on theological doctrines.
