"It would be more accurate to view the Bible, not as pure fiction, but as science fiction. If God is conceived as superior to humans in intelligence and other qualities, then the human being who attempts to conceive the mind of God runs into a problem. It is the same problem that computer scientist and science fiction author Vernor Vinge ran into when he attempted to imagine realistic characters of the future that are smarter than humans. If humans could accurately model superhuman intelligence, he argued, then humans would be that smart themselves. In consequence, the advent of smarter-than-human intelligence represents a breakdown in the ability of humans to model or predict their future: the Singularity. Attempting to imagine what the Singularity would be like is like attempting to imagine the mind of God."

PS: Humanity has always had the will to create “something” greater than himself to serve him, from the day we started to obsessively envision about gods and goddesses to explain phenomena, to the day we created advanced technology that is constantly and exponentially speeding up in development. It’s absurd in a way that we have always tried to create something that we view as infinite, just to serve us a finite purpose, and in the end, it would actually make sense that we are in this complicated process of overthrowing ourselves, when the things we strived to create for eons will ultimately surpass us in intelligence, capability and even in moral judgment. By then, we would have created and committed the greatest paradox ever to exist in human nature.
