1) Children of any species will generally grow up into something resembling their parents. You and I will not grow up to be omnipotent beings.

Humans can create life. Craig Venter's mycoplasma laboratorium is an example of it. Human can create evolutionary systems....you can find numerous examples of simulated evolution on the internet. Human's create realities in which they are pretty much omnipotent. World of Warcraft is one such reality....SecondLife is another. Humans can create intellects....IBM's Watson is an example of a rudimentary intellect.

Now one day, humans will create intellects, put them in a reality of their own design, and watch them interact and evolve. We might even interfere in their world....just to fuck with them. In a very real sense humans are growing up to be gods.
