IEET complicit in the Nephilim threat?

WorldNet



Posted: Sep 20, 2008

Former preacher Tom Horn runs the conspiracy theory Raiders New Network. One theory he frequently promotes there is that transhumanists are somehow complicit or part of a conspiracy to re-create the giant transgenic offspring of the fallen angels who slept with human women, the nephilim. The nephilim were supposedly wiped out by Noah’s Flood, but would be somehow useful to Satan in the EndTimes (which he already knows the conclusion of, but that hasn’t apparently made it any less exciting).

“What if, by corrupting the species barrier in which each creature was to recreate after its ‘own kind,’ Watchers (or demons) had successfully mingled human-animal DNA, creating something new, a construct that God had not made, manipulating genetic material and crossing the species barrier, which God had forbade, resulting in a body they could incarnate within?"…

Given what is happening in science today, Horn wonders if modern biotechnology may be about to repeat the science of Watchers, and, worse, provide a pathway for the return of the Nephilim…

Such transgenic tinkering already exists in many parts of the world including the United States, Britain and Australia...President Bush in his Jan. 31, 2006, State of the Union Address, called for legislation to “prohibit … creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.”

Not everybody shares these concerns. A radical, international, intellectual, and cultural movement known as “Transhumanism” supports the use of new sciences including genetic modification to enhance human mental and physical abilities and aptitudes so that “human beings will eventually be transformed into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label ‘posthuman.’”

Dr. James Hughes, executive director of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, is a transhumanist who teaches at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.. He is also the author of “Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the Redesigned Human of the Future,” a sort of bible for transhumanist values.

Over the last two years numerous law schools including Stanford and Oxford have hosted “Human Enhancement and Technology” conferences where transhumanists, futurists, bioethicists and legal scholars merged to discuss the ethical and legal ramifications of posthumans…

“But imagine the staggering implications of such science if dead Nephilim tissue was discovered with intact DNA and a government or rogue agency somewhere was willing to clone or mingle the extracted organisms to make Homo-nephilim,” says Horn. “If one accepts the biblical story of giants as real, such discovery could actually be made someday, or perhaps already has been and was covered up. The technology to resurrect the extinct species may already exist, and cloning methods are being studied now for use with bringing back Tasmanian Tigers, Wooly Mammoths and other extinct creatures.”

Is the world on the verge of bringing back demonic giants?

Horn believes so.
