Elon Musk was right.
We are becoming Gods that create Gods using code,

...BUT we probably WON'T be the INFINITE, OMNISCIENT kind.

The original story regards Elon's "biological boot loader lamentation", which is likely.
To clarify, I haven't any belief, and therein I have not any belief in God or gods. (As specified in my github url, entitled "God")
However, I maintain that mankind shall perhaps attain God-like PROPERTIES.
We are simulating more and more detailed universes (Sample illustris).
If computing power increases, mankind shall probably simulate universes detailed enough to contain intelligence.
Alternatively, mankind has already generated brain based artificial intelligence platforms that exceed humans on several different tasks (eventually, such shall probably exceed human on all tasks simultaneously - general artificial intelligence)
At this point, (whence we shall probably still be a mortal species) mankind becomes God-bound, as mankind would have then created universes with sentient beings and or separate general artificial intelligence programs.
Ergo, mankind shall become Gods, just not the omnipotent, omniscient, infinite kind specified in religion.

Absolutely believing in god and absolutely NOT believing in god are just as arbitrary as believing something in the middle. 'Just-so' stories aren't inherently inferior.
Believe what you want.
Even if it wasn't so, the evidence IS inconclusive.
I think our hacker, left-brain bias leads to dismissing anything that isn't cold fact, as invalid. I BELIEVE validity rises from people's experiences, so a little benefit-of-doubt goes a long way to respecting people's experiences.
The universe is conscious, because you are conscious, you are a part of the universe.
Brahman is also conscious, because universe is conscious, and the universe is a part of Brahman.
I'm not Hindu, but this is pretty conclusive proof.
To put it in object-oriented terms: I am my mind and my body. Think of inheritance here: I am my mind, and I am my body. Because my mind is conscious, it's fine to say that I am conscious.
But the universe is more like a container (a set, say). It isn't its contents, it merely has them. So while I am part of the universe, and I am conscious, that doesn't mean that the universe is conscious. Instead, it contains consciousness.
> Brahman is also conscious, because universe is conscious, and the universe is a part of Brahman.
Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.
And: I'm not Hindu either, but I'm not sure, within Hinduism, whether Brahman is conscious.
So the only explanation I can understand where you can be separate from the universe is, if you weren't a content of this universe and I'm speaking to a super-natural being.
Otherwise, if you aren't supernatural, then all of you is a part of the universe, and that makes the universe at least as conscious as you are.'
The only reach from universe to Brahman, is whether there are multiple universes, or is this the only one.
In my opinion, all positions besides Pantheism or Panentheism are illogical.
