In the article «Bioethics and transhumanism from the perspective of human nature», bioethicist Elena Postigo Solana presented an objection to the vision of human nature proposed by transhumanist philosophy. This objection was based on personalism, a philosophical framework according to which human nature is considered as dual, both physical and non-corporeal. This paper offers a response to Postigo's objection from a scientific philosophical framework, that is, from a perspective in continuous communication with the available scientific evidence. It is concluded that the idea of human nature developed by Postigo lacks empirical support, making the concept of human nature an empty one and typical of pseudosecular argumentation. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the use of the concept of human nature in the bioethical discussion.

Historically, secular humanism has been in conflict with religious thought in the academic and social spheres. This article supports the thesis that in modern times pseudosciences and pseudoscientific thinking are a threat to the humanist project, comparable to religious fundamentalism. To prove it, the concept of Secular Humanism and how it is threatened by religious fundamentalism is explained. This is followed by the definition of what pseudosciences are and what pseudoscientific thinking is. Subsequently, the way how pseudosciences threaten the secular humanist project is described. The conclusion states that pseudoscientific thought and religious fundamentalism are equally dangerous for social coexistence.
