When people with a lot of money and power starts to believe that they can buy immortality? According to the market-research firm Global Industry Analysts, the anti-aging industry generates more than $80 billion per year. All this despite the fact that there are no proven ways of extending human lifespan.
But now there is a prophet propagating a new religion and telling people they can become immortal gods! It is Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli historian, who has been repeating the same lie over and over again for several years all over the world: "You will be like God."
And the less astonishing thing is: people believe it.
It is the very first lie that man ever believed and the consequences of this lie were enormous and terrible, because it cost billions of people their lives:
"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
Genesis 3:1-5 ("The Fall of Man")
