I will come again and take you to My place, so that where I am you may also be (John 14:3)
Ray Kurzweil was an extraordinary scientist and inventor. In a book he co-authored, Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough To Live Forever, he writes that science and technology play an important role in achieving eternal life. Kurzweil follows a strict diet and takes a number of supplements. He firmly believed that he would stay alive by making the breakthrough of eternal life. He was not a lunatic, but a respected member of the business community.
The optimism that science can do is contrary to the realism that Moses revealed. “Our days are seventy years and if we are strong, eighty years, and our pride is hardship and affliction” (Psalm 90:10). Our time of success only lasts a few decades, after which we will be like grass in the garden.
How much better it is if we trust in Jesus, who promises to join us to enjoy eternal life in God. He said to His disciples, "When I have gone away and prepared a place for you, I will come back and take you to my place, so that where I am you may be also" (John 14: 3). .
