Al Gordon briefly cites Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus, describing Harari as a secular atheist philosopher whose thesis is that this is the last generation of Homo Sapiens because AI will replace the human race. Gordon invokes the reference to frame the urgency of the AI moment for church leaders, while disagreeing with Harari's worldview.
Christian Apologist: The Truth About Christianity (And Why Atheism Is Fading)
John Lennox, mathematician and Christian apologist, discusses Harari's book while explaining the transhumanist vision driving AI development. He describes Harari's two agenda items for the 21st century: solving physical death as a technical problem, and increasing human happiness through bioengineering and cyborg engineering — which Lennox reads as a modern, secular drive for self-deification, echoing ancient Babylonian and Roman emperor-worship.
