Could human technology eventually create a cosmic and benevolent intelligence? Could we continue to learn and grow after our bodies die, forever? Since we've made up so many religions about this exact thing, maybe we really would like to have it?

We are approaching a singularity event in computer design.
We are now using computers to design more powerful computers. If this trend continues we will be in a cascade where the computers design a series of more and more powerful versions of themselves with less and less help from humans, until we end up with computers that are much more intelligent than a human.
And what then? How will this superior intelligence view us, it's effective ancestors? How will humanity view it? And how will we react when it can give us the answers faster than we can think of the questions? Will it want to continue to make more computers that are smarter than it is?

Well there is this weird theory about Playnck dimension (not sure about the spelling and terminology) and cosmic shared conciseness, but there isn't much if anything to support it.

There are many that believe man will join with his machines and become God.. I am not one of them..but there are some interesting theories about it.

Have you never heard of the Internet?
Seriously, Tupac is still releasing albums. We have digitally overcome death.

What's really funny is that today's "science" was yesterday's "science fiction".
Ahh...the arrogance of man's ignorance.

A possibility, but a remote one.
Of course that's a FAR cry from the fairy tales theists tell...
