Scientific evidence of God by an atheist (Where mankind is one likely type of God)

Thereafter, on Moore's Law etc, we are likely on the horizon of creating such non-trivial intelligence.  

(NOTE: Brain based models already exceed/equal humans on non trivial cognitive tasks, ranging from language translation to disease diagnosis)

I already created 5 examples of non-trivial intelligence, moores law seems like useless reference with regards to some future event when the claimed future event has been ongoing for nearly a quarter billion years.  Speaking of trivialities, your use of the term "god-bound" this and thats.....

['A']

I too, have written examples of non-trivial intelligence, ranging from scratch written, basic (using basic java, rather than mxnet/lasagne/torche/...neural networks for letter recognition, to high level neural models (using mxnet) for heart irregularity detection (achieving 76/500+ on global kaggle scale).



I also do hypothetical research on a phenomenon I call 'thought curvature'. This is based on modern reinforcement learning, deep causal learning (ie uetorch, learning physical intuitions from tower blocks) AND clues from quantum computing mathematics. (See 'thought curvature').


['B']

Your commentary is nonsensical.

YOU ARE IGNORING:
[0] We are likely ending the regime of predominant Von Neumann architectures, and entering other regimes, including non-cpu aligned neuro-synaptic chips.

EXAMPLE:
IBM is already composing these neuro-synaptic chips. (See ibm synapse)
IBM Researcher Dharmendra Modha - "Before the end of 2020 we will be able to produce a brain in box".


[1] It is not difficult to observe that graphs of technological expansion initially appear quite horizontal, thereafter approaching apparently exponential transitions.


['C']

General intelligence already exists in non-trivial degrees. (See atari q player or alpha go)
It won't be long before there is brain based hardware that approximates human neuronal computation cycles; 10^15 flops. (Moore's Law)



NOTE: 
However models (seen in '['A']') though non trivial, are trivial in comparison to the human intellect. 

As defined (in the original post), a God bound entity is such that possesses the ability to create non trivial intellect, that EXCEEDS the net intellect of it's species. The models you or I have written, have thus far not EXCEEDED humans on all tasks.
