What makes a God? Is it an intelligence with the power to create life? If so, can I be accounted for as a God if successfully create life such as replicating molecules or some other degree of basic life in a laboratory or perhaps a real intelligence in a computer program?
Lets say a team of researchers in the future succeeded in creating a real intelligence, a bodyless lifeform with feelings, abilities to learn, make desitions and so on. Could those researchers (or their bosses) who created and control this new occurance of life's life and death be called Gods?
