I've created a new website for my ebook Facing the Intelligence Explosion:

Sometime this century, machines will surpass human levels of intelligence and ability, and the human era will be over. This will be the most important event in Earth’s history, and navigating it wisely may be the most important thing we can ever do.

(a) creationism is believed by a majority of Americans, and so will turn them off from his main point,

Can people who believe in a God that benevolently created us and looks over us even come to consider the possibility of existential dangers or a human-steered Singularity? Frankly, if they are creationists, I think they are largely irrelevant to a Singularity discussion until they shed such beliefs.
