Could man have invented God?

Question

God is supposed to exist outside space and time, could it be that our descendants are going to build an artificial intelligence so powerful that it will exist outside space and time and will/has become God?

Answer 1

I like that idea. With higher dimensions being described by theoretical physics at the mo, lets hope that one day we can find a way to move around outside our 4 dimensions (that includes time as the 4th). In the BBC's Horizon programme called Parallel Universes, a scientist was saying that theoretically we can create another universe in a lab by causing another big bang, so perhaps someone already has and we're living in it.

Answer 2

No. The Model T does not understand Ford. Ford understands the Model T.

Intelligence is just a small part of the equation. Not only does this hypothetical intelligence need to be very smart, it must also exceed all of the temporal / spatial parameters within which it was created, and it must some how accumulate unimaginable energy/mass. It must somehow exceed its source.

The existence of computers suggests that this is possible, as a quick computer makes a human seem very slow. But, the computing power is the result of countless hours and lives and even generations of contemplation and computation on the part of humans(from arithmetic to electricity to logic to transistor to electromagnetism to mass production to economics to whatever). All of these tremendous person-lives distill into a machine, one which can be replicated and mass produced. Yet, the machine represents, from the standpoint of information theory, the lives of countless humans.

Yet, all the humans have injected into the machine is what they have taken away from the system that they are a part of. The machine is a result of human discovery.

Human discovery is limited to what can be seen and tasted and smelled, all of which is called science. Science observes, predicts, theorizes and concludes. All conclusions are based upon observation of what IS. To even contemplate converting the process of IS into what WILL BE is silly. Not to mention, contemplating purpose and direction and balance. What mankind knows, it learned. No human knowledge has ever been created. We observe and quantify reality, we do not weave it. Nor will we ever.

Nor will any product of our weaving be creative. It will be derivative.

To say that considering this as "circular" would be silly. "Circular" is almost plausible. For the product to become the producer is inconceivable, even comical.

Answer 3

But who ivented men before he invented God? Science has not been able to provide evidence that complex machinery can arise without the intervention of intelligence. Many scientific organizations including the national academy of science states that a God/Gods may have been involved in the fine tuning of the universe. So if they can be open to the idea why can't we?

Answer 4

how can a man who doesnt know the exact time of when he is going to die create God?! adding to this no matter how smart men can be they were never be able to give life to death people ! look at the universe , ever thought of how many planets and stars are out there we're just tiny creatures in this whole great system which is amazingly invented! I believe in the creator of who created this universe, this creator is powerful cos his remarkable work can be seen by just looking at a small tiny flee that can fly and see things and danger that surrounding it. YES there is GOD

Answer 5

If faith is the final thank you to regulate a mass inhabitants, then why have the previous oppressive worldwide locations been atheist? the U.S. and Nazi Germany might desire to no longer are starting to be the memo. faith is an exceedingly undesirable thank you to regulate the loads anyhow because of fact they are going no longer likely to lend a hand and are going to combat. So my factor here is that controlling the loads does not have plenty to do with faith. people do want something to have confidence in. This hankering for faith seems very ordinary as far as evolution is going. If there is not any God, then the 1st people that got here up with the assumption of God might have been at an evolutionary disadvantage- having to sacrifice cows, spend time praying, while they might have been out doing something effective. The Egyptians placed a great quantity of attempt into the pyramids to establish the emperor's stable afterlife. A godless civilization might have a great benefit over them. as far as motivating the loads, if there is not any God any style of motivation ought to paintings merely as properly, so the honour of the country or tribe ought to have worked high-quality and been extra effective. different than it did no longer. merely approximately each and every custom has had a faith, and people who tried to banish it like the U.S. fell aside. So why does faith paintings so properly? It could no longer have developed by way of the years to motivate people as validated above, it no longer quite sensible, so the only different answer is that there is a God who has placed a might desire to worship him in people. Now each and every physique isn't all understanding so it doesn’t look as though too a great number of a stretch to declare that some people understanding that there is a God pointed out Him incorrect and began yet another faith. So there got here to be many different religions. No i be conscious of it quite isn't undeniable evidence of God, merely stable circumstantial information. For some reason God has desperate to no longer supply undeniable evidence, he needs us to have confidence. that is comprehensible, if He printed himself to each physique in complete glory; each and every physique could be afraid and worship him out of concern. yet God needs us to love him freely and subsequently has given us a call via remaining hidden, so as that if we nevertheless worship him our love would be freely given and propose plenty extra.

Answer 6

Man's ultimate arrogance is to believe that there is a God that exists for his well-being. I don't think it matters how smart you are you can't invent something that can't exist. The smarter you are the more likely you are to apply critical thinking and realise religion is man's response to the fear of dying. Just as every part of the world speaks using a different "invented" language so every cultue created their God. Amen

Answer 7

If everything has to have a moment of creation, then who created god, where did he/it come from, what was he/it doing before we arrived? its all very well saying, yeah, god has always exsisted, but how? where, and most importantly why? so who created whom, its a chicken and egg situation, one I think that will never be answered unless the diety turns up one day and tells us.

Answer 8

What would you like to call the Being that created the man that could invent the god of which you speak?

D'oh! I answered with a question. Do I get docked for that?

Answer 9

God has his Being of himself and to himself such that he is Absolute being and the definition of existence.
Since God’s essence is his nature and God’s existence is the same as his essence it follows that God is existence.

Answer 10

Strange question, but I think man invented what he thought god is like and how to follow him. I don't think we are really supposed to understand any of it
