Look Up Fellowship "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

Has anyone else heard about the DNA Ancestry Project -- a product from a Vancouver-based company called Genebase that purports to use DNA as the basis for social networking?

Yes, you read that correctly -- using DNA as the basis for social networking. Incredibly, the group behind this "project" successfully sold the program as part of a "blogger outreach program", and even more surprising than that is that there were plenty of willing participants!



Here's one excerpt from a review I found on a website called My Name Is Kate:

The courier arrives and I rip open my box ... it includes a pretty map-poster, a fancy looking swab kit and a CD with software for installation. Ack! It's for Windows (I'm on a Mac). OK, turns out I don't need to use the CD - I can just sign up to the website with the username and password provided in the kit. So, I create my account and fill in some really basic info in the profile page. The website is quite complex and not very easy to use.

Here's what I noticed and picked up on right away in my research into this. Watch the video that's embedded within this CBC Marketplace report called "Who's Your Grand Daddy?" and you quickly learn that there are plenty of people in this world who are looking for answers about "where I really came from", and that, of course, has some serious prophetic implications given our discussions here. I don't want to get into a discussion about "Full Discussion" as related to the so-called "Alien/UFO" phenomenon, but that's exactly what I thought of here; this desire to know our "real roots" to where we come from. How easy would it be for Satan to prey upon that desire, use the "Alien/UFO" phenomenon as part of the Great Deception, and "prove" that the "Ancient Astronaut Theory" was more than just a theory? Leave the "little green men" component out of this for a minute, and insert any other "explanation" that he could use to reveal to the world that the account given to us in the Holy Bible is inaccurate and you can see how close we really are to seeing the Great Deception.

Adding a whole new layer of credibility to this sort of thing is National Geographic. Apparently, they even have their own version of the DNA Ancestry Project called National Geographic's Genographic Project. In fact, they're not the only ones doing this sort of thing. As the following MSNBC news report shows, the advances in modern science have created a whole new big business:

Despite its growing popularity, I can't imagine how people would be ok with this sort of thing in this day and age when I thought that privacy concerns overruled the aura of intrigue typically associated with fads like this. Is this going to be the next major trend we'll see? People swabbing the inside of their mouth willingly and giving them to a private corporation so that they can be told that they're actually connected to the same DNA roots that Michael Jackson was? It just all seems so absurd to me. Then again, these are the prophesied last days so anything goes I guess.

At the end of the day, I think that when people become so casual about their DNA (what it is that truly makes them a unique creation) it's indicative of the fact that the Post-Human Era is already upon us, and that they will embrace Transhumanism with both arms wide open, just as some have predicted is in our immediate future due to the marriage of biotechnology and prophecy.

Worse, think about what this technology and the information it produces could be used for in the hands of a brutal dictator like the coming Antichrist? Eugenics anyone? After all, if you have a murderer in your family history who's to say that you might not turn out like them one day? The world might deem you a "threat" and will seek to eliminate you before you can reach your full potential and ultimate destiny. Heck, Christians are good for nothing except promoting "hate rooted in fundamentalism", right? I'm sure someone would eventually propose "eliminating" us because we're a cancer to society.

Keep looking up!
