Was "God" From The Future!?

Question

If we were back in the days BC, with the technology we have today then Do you think we could be a god?

Just think if you had a helicopter or hot air balloon you could land on a mountain and call out over you loud speaker for moses to come up there.
You could toss out sweet pastry from the balloon for them to eat.
You could also ask for grain and oil as a gift to the god and get them to cook a goat for you to eat. sacrifice! But because you are god they must obey or you will electricute them with our generator.
Dont get religious on me now! Just a thought.

Answer 1

God is a being from another galaxy in the future where everything is so hightech that you can create your own universe.

Answer 2

Brilliance is thinking possibles, not impossibles. If a person was able to develop all those technologies you say without others knowing about it, then He must be God and worth worshiping. All worships are out of ignorance. Initially when we heard about a computer it was a wonder - then a technology - now just a normal thing like anything else in our home or office. When we know more the feeling of wonder disappears and we come to the realization that it is possible and just a knowledge.

The problem that you carry is a strong desire to be respected by rest of the world like a superman or something like it.

If at all God was using today's technologies that itself is an evidence that He is the God. Remember, the ten commandment was written on the stone plate by laser rays.

Answer 3

It has been said that any technologically advanced group would appear to be as gods to a lesser advanced group. There have been theories claiming the Greek, Roman and Nordic myths were based on travelers from another world coming to earth in the distant past. It is not unreasonable to speculate that such did indeed happen, for certainly we are not alone in the universe. With countless billions of planets out there, it would be the greatest form of conceit to think this little back-water planet far from the center of its own galaxy was the source of the only intelligent life that exists. Who can say with any certainty? Your speculation is just as good as anyone else's. By the way, I am a Christian.

Wow! I just read some of the answers you got. Amazing.

Answer 4

Very good thought and -without getting religious- I believe that a lot of people would believe you are God but what makes God "'God'' for me is not its visual miracles but the feelings God causes inside of me. However if I alter your question and imagine that the God from the future rules the universe like the creator of a PC game that can fully control the players ( check the plot of movie:13th floor), then it can also play with my feelings and in that case, YES, God can be from the future -or future doesn't exist since the notion ''time'' is also a feature created by the creator of the PC game. I mean if one starts brainstorming, the possibilities about God, religion, knowledge, existence etc. are endless, That's what makes philosophy sooooo fascinating :))

Answer 5

yep i think you would be reverred as a god, plenty of examples in history of european explorers being treated like gods by less developed people, and then of course there's C3-PO and the Ewoks, not forgetting The Wizzard chap in the Wizzard of Oz :-) Also Rudyard Kippling wrote a damned good book about this sort of thing (The Men Who Would be Kings).

Trouble is.. they always came unstuck when the the technology runs out, i.e. what happens when your air balloon's burner runs out of fuel, you'd have to take a refinery with you, or know how to refine oil yourself.. very hard for any modern technology to exist in isolation from other modern technologies..

And if there's one thing people don't like, it's finding out someone who said they were a god is little better than themselves.. makes 'em feel pretty irked!

My advice, go forward in time, steal a solar powered replicator from Starfleet, then go back, or just make sure you don't forget to buy a return time ticket.

See, not so hard to separate this from relegion, and IMO, is just as sound a way to set up a new one as most of the piffle in the bible :-)

Answer 6

Umm, if we were all there back in those days with present technology, we still wouldn't be gods because everybody would have a generator, or even worse guns. Also what would be interesting is that we would probably think that the person from that Age is a god because of the simplicity....we would look plain stupid to them.

Answer 7

It is possible that God is the man from the book Time Machine by HG Wells but as you may have learned from theat book, You can't change the past because it will only lead you back to the present. Still it is a novel thought.

Answer 8

You'd be a god. I've often imagined going back to medieval times with an aircraft (which would be seen as a dragon) and I'd carry an assault rifle (a magical crossbow). I'd be a god, or at least a wizard of sorts. I'd have all sorts of technology to impress people, like a torch/flashlight, and matches. I would be revered and would have many wenches!

Answer 9

Without getting religious, it wouldn't work. The main thought about time travel is that you could only see a particular time, you wouldn't be able to physically alter it, otherwise you would change the time-line and disappear yourself!
Apart from that, what you are suggesting is a total mis-use of power acting like a despot, so I am pleased you wouldn't be able to do it! You do have some imagination though!

Answer 10

You wouldn't even have to go back that far! Just go back in time with 3 of your friends before the Beatles were famous and play their music to the crowd so then you become the gods of the time and rake in all the cash that the Beatles members made, or in your time travelling case, would have made.

Answer 11

Well it's kind of hard not to answer this question without being religious, but no. God knows what is going to happen in the future. God was here before anything.
