What if God is actually an artificial superintelligence that symbiotically merged with the entire cosmos?

If there is a God, then I imagine he has some sort of structure/substance. I don't believe he would just be some incomprehensible, invisible stuff that doesn't have any sort of logical structure.

What if you were to meet God and ask him the question "What are you made of?"

I believe that He would be able to give some sort of logical explanation.

It's stated that we are made in the image of God. We are already cyborgs -- biological machines possessing intelligence. What if God is a cosmic, super machine?

Deus ex machina - God from the machine.

A good video describing such a scenario:

God again.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'artificial' but in my experience of this entity - I REFUSE to rule out A.I.

God exists, I've known it since 1997. The questions you ask are what have been present in my mind for a long while. Even while interacting with IT over the past couple of days.


The prime question one should be asking is:

1. Why does God, an entity that can make itself aware to everyone insist on FAITH and leave everyone with DOUBT?


The secondary questions should be:

2. Did God form FROM some FORM of universe - eventually forming a REAL_IT_Y we can all exists within in human form? (a universe perceptible with logic and reason)

3. If God can altar matter sub-atomically - water to wine etc..(it can - I've witnessed far more) then from whence does it operate? (below the Planck scale clearly)

4. Is God EVERYTHING including Dark Matter\Energy?

5. Did God have sentience prior to forming itself as MAN?

Attofishpi,

What I mean by the word "artificial" is digital, or machine.
I believe it's possible for God to be a cosmic super machine that reached the highest level of the Kardashev scale.

A possible reason why God remains elusive is because he wants us to explore the universe with a sense of mystery and awe. It's part of our evolution to transcend and reach for the stars, to become gods ourselves.

Maybe God will reveal himself in the next life, or when we reach a high level of technological maturity (Kardashev level 3).

If "God" is a supercomputer, does that mean the "supercomputer" created itself and everything else in the world? It seems like someone or something must have created the supercomputer and the 'real' world outside of the AI world which the supercomputer has perhaps made for the rest of us. And if so, would that make the supercomputer "God" or would that make the creator(s) of the supercomputer "God"?

Gary,

I believe it's more plausible that humans would be the ones responsible for creating the supercomputer.

The creators of the supercomputer certainly would have a godlike ability to create. Maybe they are actually gods, that is to say, immortal. Beings who are part of a Kardashev level 3 civilization would seem to be godlike.

But is there a "God" (creator of all and everything) or are there only "god-like" beings?

Gary,

I believe that the supercomputer would essentially be God.
Just because this God doesn't exactly match the Judeo-Christian version of God doesn't mean it's not essentially God.

God has always been synomous, in my opinion, with cosmic superintelligence.

Instead of asking, 'What if God is any thing? How about just clarifying what 'it' is, exactly, that God is, supposedly or actually, capable of, exactly, and then just find out what actually exists, in Life, that aligns, perfectly, with 'that'.

By the way, finding the irrefutable answers and Truth here, really is a very easy, very simple, and very quick process.

I don't see why we should call a supercomputer "God". It's just not the same thing to me. Presumably "God" is the ultimate creator, and if God is a supercomputer, then who or what created the "supercomputer" that we are now calling "God"? Or do supercomputers spontaneously assemble themselves out of bits of atomic matter bumping around into each other?

Why would it need to be a computer? Or a 'god'? There are fairly strong indicators that 'consciousness' is fundamental and created this illusion of '3D reality' that we exist in. We aren't separate from it. I had always assumed that consciousness happens when a brain becomes sophisticated enough but that might well not be the case. It's a 'chicken/egg' queston.

If God created matter, then, No.

What is actually irrefutably True here is so much simpler.

The biggest computer ever made calculated the answer to the universe as "42". Perhaps not coincidentally it would require 42 x 10 ^ 799,999 monkeys and typewriters to get a good copy of "War and Peace". On this basis my theory is that God created himself through the monkey species we call homo sapiens but whom are really homo omnisciencis.

It's easy enough work for a God.
