Godliness

[jon louis mann]

Yes, but those wouldn't be "god" as defined by the world's major
deistic systems -- i.e., they would not have created the universe and 
everything in it.

I'd be quite surprised if we lived in an otherwise sterile universe, 
actually; and given the age of the cosmos positing an ultra-advanced
godlike civilization is no more mad than positing a civilization that
hasn't yet got out of its equivalent of the bronze age. But those
advanced civilizations still don't qualify as the gods of the old
testament, the Koran or the Vedas.

i would also question whether such godlike beings would even bother to
uplift lesser intelligences (let alone interfere in our destinies). 
imagine if social insects were uplifted, or cock roaches, or higher
animal orders, such as rats...  
don't get me started on hybrid species...
