Spiritual Genomics

SPIR-ih-choo-uhl juh-NOH-miks

The philosophical or theological belief that the human genome is part of the divinely sustained biological organization of the body, while the soul is created immediately by God and united to that body as a human person. Spiritual genomics holds that DNA does not generate the soul, consciousness, or personhood. Instead, the genome provides the unique biological architecture through which a God-created soul is embodied and expressed in the material world.

In simple terms: your genes shape your body; your soul makes you a person.
"I don't think consciousness comes from DNA alone. My view is closer to spiritual genomics, where genetics provide the biological framework and the soul provides personhood."

Genomism 

A policy of discrimination towards a individual or group due to the presence of markers within their genetic code.

(Future-Slang)
The doctrine or system under which a individual(s) identifiable genetic markers makes them open for discrimination. Under Genomism, a person can be accessed and determined fit or unfit for a occupation, activity or even inclusion within the society itself, all without consideration of personal achievements, ability or demeanor.

This can extend to imprisoning a person in which no crime had (yet) been committed but which a person has a genetic makeup indicating a likelihood of crime.

To (il)legally discriminate due to a DNA analysis.
"I didn't get the job because they sampled my DNA and determined that I had a 37% likelihood of reduced proficiency..."

See film: GATTACA (1997)

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
