Re: Crazy shit Bible says, crazy shit Christians say

Now there is your time machine. You do yearly backup when you renew your driver's license. When you die, they'll restore your brain to the year you specified on driver license application. Or it could be a walk-in procedure, you walk in and do a refresh from 10 years ago.

Sort of like the movie Groundhog Day.

Combined with human cloning they will be able to backup one's brain when he/she is born and then clone him/her, grow him/her, and upload the backup. So people would never really die.

That should be doable within 20-40 years, if not sooner...

The hard part is the clone... that's gonna take another 20 years unless you want to be a baby

40 years? Are you guessing or have you read Kurzweil's book about the singularity?

Just an educated guess based on the progress of the current research

But then again, I thought we'd have flying cars too

We've got flying cars already. But nobody wants or need them.

For the cloning part, I'd say much more than that especially because there no real use to it. We still can't implement the life experience, the thoughts, and we will probably never be able to do so. Hence a clone would be a totally different person.
