Monologue: Homo Borgensis — The New Nephilim
Tonight we step into a shadow that is no longer the stuff of ancient myth, no longer relegated to the margins of prophecy or the whispers of conspiracy. The shadow has a name, a modern name — Homo borgensis. A name that sounds like it was born in a comic book, but it was born instead in the laboratory, at the crossroads of Pentagon contracts, DARPA roadmaps, and corporate patents. A name that means “the man of the machine, born again in a new genesis.”
For thousands of years, the story of the Nephilim has haunted our scriptures. “There were giants in the earth in those days,” the book of Genesis tells us, when the sons of God mingled with the daughters of men and produced something not quite human, not quite angel — a hybrid. In Noah’s day, it was flesh corrupted. Today, it may be code spliced into chromosomes, synthetic strands woven into the registry of life. Different methods, same result: a counterfeit creation, a challenge to the image of God written into our very being.
They will tell you it is impossible. They will tell you the science is settled. They will mock anyone who dares to suggest that gene-editing tools, synthetic chromosomes, or cDNA constructs could alter the essence of what we are. But history has always mocked the doubters — until time revealed the truth. The doctors once said thalidomide was safe. They said cigarettes were harmless. They said Vioxx would heal. They said radiation could cure what ailed you. And when the graves were filled, they shrugged and said, “Whoops.”
So I ask you, what arrogance drives a man to declare, with certainty, that the needle which delivers synthetic code into the temple of God’s creation could never alter that creation? What pride blinds an institution to think it can toy with the registry of life without consequence? Just because they say so, doesn’t mean they are right. And if history is any teacher, it means they are likely wrong.
Tonight, we will follow the paper trail — the contracts, the labs, the programs hidden under “defense” and “biosecurity.” We will read the documents where DARPA dreams aloud of inserting new chromosomes, where the Pentagon funds projects to rewire insects, pathogens, and yes, even mammalian genomes. And we will set those documents beside the Word of God, which tells us plainly: there is nothing new under the sun. The Nephilim of Noah’s day wore flesh and bone; the Nephilim of our day may wear patents and silicon.
This is not science fiction. This is not hysteria. This is the cold rhythm of history: men reaching for power they cannot control, building towers they cannot finish, and inviting judgments they cannot bear. Homo borgensis is the name the technocrats whisper, but I will give it another name — a new Nephilim. And the Bible tells us what became of them.
Stay with me.
Part 1 — Origins of the Name and the Fear
The name Homo borgensis is not ancient, but it borrows power from both science and myth. The word “homo” ties it to our human lineage — homo erectus, homo sapiens, homo sapiens sapiens. Every new branch in the tree of man has carried both promise and peril. And then comes “borgensis” — a grafted word. “Borg,” for assimilation, the collective of man and machine. And “genesis,” the act of beginning, of creation. Together it whispers: “the new man has been born, but not by God’s hand.”
Where did this language come from? Some trace it to sloppy anthropology — misreadings of heidelbergensis or antecessor. But in the last two decades, it has been pulled into transhumanist talk. Journalists, technocrats, even Pentagon scientists have quietly used the term as shorthand for what lies beyond us — the engineered human, part biological, part synthetic. DARPA calls their programs “Safe Genes,” “Insect Allies,” “Advanced Tools for Mammalian Genome Engineering.” It sounds sterile. But underneath, it is the same dream: to write a new species into the registry of life.
The fear around this name is not groundless. For centuries, the march of science has been tethered to the hope of control — control over disease, over fertility, over the environment, over death itself. And each time we take another step, we are told this is progress, this is salvation. But Homo borgensis embodies a darker kind of salvation — one born not of redemption but of reprogramming. A salvation where man becomes his own creator.
The ancients called them Nephilim. Tod
