, 03:59, October 13, 2014→Ray Kurzweil: Uploading the human brain and achieving a technological singularity
“sees technology as fulfilling all aspirations previously ascribed to religion, including immortality.” http://www.patheos.com/blogs/christandpopculture/2011/01/the-25-most-influential-living-atheists-and-what-they-have-to-do-with-pop-culture/
"Some atheists like Ray Kurzweil advocate transhumanist doctrines that prophesy of a near future - in as few as 20 years, according to him - in which a singularity event will occur. With the singularity event, humans will be able to use science to achieve immortality. Kurzweil speaks of this singularity event with the same fervor in which the proverbial Southern Baptist minister raves about the Rapture. Fantasizing about post-singularity humanity, Kurzweil proclaims that, being able to live for eternity, we will eventually be able to know everything that can possibly be known.
