Many books could be written to document the many
               prevailing ideologies that espouse the belief that “we
               can  be  as  god”.    A  thoughtful  study  is  given  in  the
               excellent  book  written  by  Carl  Teichrib,  “GAME  OF
               GODS”    [98] . In his book, Teichrib starts with the basic

               premise  that  is  reminiscent  of  the  Tower  of  Babel
               (Genesis 11).  He asserts that a familiar, yet new and
               distinct tower is arising.  He tells us that this tower is
               wrapped in the mist of the ages while beckoning with
               the promise of a new future.  He reveals a modern
               “Temple  of  Man”  that  is  looming  before  us.    It  is
               rooted in the premise that “Humanity has three great
               desires: To be as God, to be masters of meaning and

               destiny,  and  to  build  Heaven  on  earth.”    His  book
               documents that story.       Truly, “there is nothing new
               under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

               The  “We  can  be  as  god”  deception  is  the  same
               deception that the serpent used to persuade Adam
               and  Eve  (Genesis  3:6)  to  choose  “The  Tree  of

               Knowledge” over the “Tree of Life”.  It continues to
               deceive millions of good people in each generation.
               Sadly, many trust human science, with all its frailties,
               over the ultimate and precise science that only GOD
               knows.    HIS science sustains eternal life.  In Genesis
               11,  GOD  revealed  that  HE  would  allow  mankind  to

               accomplish  remarkable  feats  (Genesis  11:6).
               However, HE also gave us a gentle demonstration of
               HIS  power  to  alter  mankind’s  quest  for  knowledge
               (Genesis 11:7).  The rest of the Bible, along with the
