Is God weaker than theists imagine, and is mankind stronger?
#1
Is God weaker than theists imagine, and is mankind stronger?
Code:
Got a cool idea from a recent Ray Kurzweil video, while he talked about rocks and artificial intelligence.
Idea: From dirt to human level artificial intelligence!


1.) We’re about to build artificial intelligences, that exceed humans in intelligence! 

2.) Computers are intelligent today, and although computers are smarter than humans in several individual cognitive or thinking tasks, they are not yet better than human intelligence overall.

3.) So, computers come from dirt/rock/sand, so we are giving intelligence to dirt! Eventually, (Ray Kurzweil predicts by 2029) we’ll instill in dirt, intelligence that exceeds intelligence overall, called "artificial general intelligence".

4.) Why did the supposed theistic God have to rely on humans to convert dirt to these smarter machines?  Did the theistic God lack the ingenuity/power needed to forge these eventually human exceeding machines?

5.) Well, where the theistic God failed to do so, we are reasonably about to make better use of the dirt from which the supposed theistic God forged mankind, by converting it to intelligent machines that exceed humans overall. 

6.) Notably, even if we didn't create or own dirt, why did God fail to make smart machines directly form dirt, why rely on humans to make human exceeding machines from the same dirt? The answer may be that the theistic God may not be as powerful as theists imagine, as humans are about to outdo the theistic God by directly utilizing the same dirt, to create human exceeding machines (with more powerful minds or larger degrees of general intelligence)!!

I think it would be futile investing much time getting to know you...
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Gods are figments of the human imagination.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

This is just another observation demonstrating the frailty of inventing a god.

But, we won't have to wait too long before it's all over.

Also predicted: Man will be able to make himself immortal within 100 years either by transferring himself to AI (positive testing is already being done with mice) or advances in medicine and gene editing using such as CRISPR Cas9.

No one who can buy immortality or is given immortality is going to waste time spending time worshipping gods to gain some minuscule chance at a heaven when they are already immortal for free.

And, using CRIPR Cas9, we have already created a genome that survived transplant into a cell nucleus. Within little more than a decade we should be able to make life from scratch i.e. become god.

But, if you really want the god killer, look at XNA a synthetic genetic material so powerful not only is it believed capable of making immortal life, if it gets into the DNA of life on earth it will take over and end that form of DNA altogether i.e. better than god.
