How to become a God, in 3 simple steps (absent faith/belief):

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

FACTS/observations:

1) The traditional theistic definition of God includes omniscience, omnipotence...., and the ability to generate non-trivial intelligence.

2) Mankind PARTIALLY satisfies the theistic God definition, on the horizon of scientifically OBSERVED/OBSERVABLE sequences; mankind has ALREADY created brain based models that compute 10^14 of the estimated total, 10^+16 synaptic NEURONAL operations per second.

3) God is then SIMPLY PROPERLY definable, as any likely non-omniscient entity [ie MANKIND] with the ability to generate non-trivial artificial intelligence.

4) Other theistic properties [omniscience, omnipotence, omni...] are NOT LIKELY, on the horizon of said scientific observation.

And if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever hoid...
