It's a metaphor, isn't it?

Because when mankind recognized he was naked, when Adam saw that he didn't have clothes on, it's because sin had entered the world.

It's because shame became a reality to he and his wife that he'd never known before.

And therefore, ever since we could say metaphorically, Paul says to us, mankind has been searching for clothing.

They've been searching for the way that death may be swallowed up by life.

I was reading Yuval Harari, who's written a book called Homo Deus, Man the God or the God Man.

He also wrote a book called Homo Sapiens, A History of the Human Race.

He's a transhumanist, and this is a movement that believes that man will be some kind of hybrid of man and machine, and the ultimate goal of it all

And he says this at the outset of Homo Deus.

He says, let's take stock of where we are and see what the ultimate goal is.

And he says, mankind has defeated its three great enemies by and large, famine, disease, and warfare.

He says, sure, there's war.

Sure, there's famine.

Sure, there's diseases, but nothing like the bubonic plague.

Nothing like the world wars.

We're getting past that.

We're getting better.

And the ultimate goal, he says, is that

What we'll see is death itself will be defeated by mankind's technology.

My friends, if you're looking where the Tower of Babel is being built, look no further than the modern technological industry.
