“I will be like God” is not simply an ancient sinful cry; it is a modern scientific calling. In Isaiah, an ancient king desired to be like God.
Isaiah 14:13-14 – But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
This may be a literary device that is actually speaking of the devil.
At the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) a drive for divinity was undertaken as a giant tower- a ziggurat - was built by man, ascending to God in an attempt to replace Him.
“Test-tube babies” are indeed a scientific wonder that provides the middleman of the miracle of life. But it is still God’s design of the seed of a man and the egg of a woman that come together.
However, the “Brave New World” of Huxley is upon us. Scientists at the Oregon Health and Science University have created the beginnings of a baby using not human eggs, but skin cells. Skin cells are programmed to behave like sex cells, eggs, and sperm, and to divide using not only mitosis, which replicates all 46 chromosomes, but meiosis, which results in just 23. If you add the artificial womb, motherhood is eliminated.
LGBTQ+ are violations of the creation order. But this new desire to replace the Creator demands that the Church not only receive exposition of the Bible and create theological concepts and constructs, but also develop ethical thinking in light of such moral challenges.
Remember, we must demand the time to think and develop the habit of thought.
