As we evolve we become more intelligent, loving, creative and beautiful, so actually we are moving exponentially to have greater levels of the very properties we ascribe to god without limit. But we never become literally infinite but we are moving exponentially in that direction so that we become more God-like. Evolution is a spiritual process that moves us closer to God — Ray Kurzweil.

Ray Kurzweil, the director of engineering at Google, has claimed that in just over 30 years, humans will be able to upload their entire minds to computers and become ‘digitally immortal’.
We are currently facing the possibility of achieving immortality for humans by 2030. This prediction comes from renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil, who has a history of making accurate predictions. He anticipates that with the ongoing progress in genetics, robotics, and nanotechnology, we will soon have nanobots coursing through our bloodstream, which could enable us to live forever. It’s truly remarkable to consider that this could be a reality within just seven years.
Nanobots, which are small robots sized between 50–100 nm in width, are currently being used in various clinical medical applications. They are used in research as DNA probes, imaging materials for cells, and targeted delivery vehicles for cells. According to Kurzweil, nanobots represent the future of medicine.
They will be capable of repairing our bodies at a cellular level, making us resistant to diseases, aging, and, ultimately death. Additionally, he theorizes that humans may be able to transfer their consciousness into digital form, leading to immortality.
Kurzweil co-founded Beyond Imagination in 2018 with Harry Floor, a scientist and film producer, to develop autonomous A.I. systems capable of physical labor. The company is building humanoid robots aimed at addressing labor shortages in sectors such as health care and agriculture. Its advisory board includes motivational speaker Tony Robbins, former Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs, and former Paramount Pictures CEO James Gianopulos.
Between 2018 and 2019, the startup raised $4.2 million in seed funding and was most recently valued at $25 million, per Crunchbase. Reuters reported that its upcoming valuation could reach $500 million, with Gauntlet Ventures—a Dallas-based venture capital firm—expected to be the sole investor in the new round.

Words of the prophet.
What happens when AI surpasses human intelligence, accelerating its own evolution beyond our control? This is the Singularity, a moment where technology reshapes the world in ways we can’t yet imagine.
Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that by 2045, AI will reach this point, merging with human intelligence through Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and redefining the future of civilization. But as we move closer to this reality, we must ask: Will the Singularity be humanity’s greatest leap or its greatest risk?
