Hyperevolutionists believe that humans have a responsibility to evolve themselves into transcendent beings through nanotechnology or uploading for the betterment of humanity as a whole. Hyperevolutionists have been in the forefront of the ethical transhumanist movement since the 2080s. Many believers have undergone radical transformations aimed at increasing their intelligence. Some of their funding has come from the Algernon Foundation.
A branch of hyperevolutionism that has almost eclipsed the secular movement is Christian hyperevolutionism. Founded in the 2060s by Dr. Ramen Garcia, it is inspired by philosophers like Teilhard de Chardin and Frank Tipler. Christian hyperevolutionists see God as an infinity of information formed during the collapse of a closed, life-pervaded universe into a single point. As the universe collapses, the speed of information processing increases, allowing the creation of the ultimate being, God. Christianity represents a presentiment or message from this future God. The Christian hyperevolutionists’ ultimate goal is to fulfill God’s plan by discovering how to engineer a local collapse in space-time (“the second coming”), which they see as requiring humanity’s prior evolution of information-dense posthuman intelligence.
There are a number of Christian hyperevolutionist colonies and monasteries in space; the largest is Seventh Heaven in Lagrange 5.
