Let's take a ride into the future and suppose humans survive as species to the year 4000th. We develop the capability to create big bangs out of nothing and set the conditions right so that life could arise and evolve somewhere within it. The tiny creatures reside and develop in the universe we've created for them, and they look up to the sky at night and they utter the magical words:
"Dear Lord, Thank you for this day.
Hold my hand and give me courage
to carry the cross You have chosen for me.
Let me never complain.
Let me smile and give strength
to my family and friends"
Have we become God?
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Arthur C. Clarke, "Profiles of The Future", 1961 (Clarke's third law)
English physicist & science fiction author (1917 - )
