What is God?
What is a god?
It’s all relative.
It's all
semantics
really.
To those
who wandered
this globe
fifty thousand years ago
we’d be gods.
Would those
who live
fifty thousand years
from now be looked
on as “Gods” by us?
How far
into the future,
into the past
or out into
space
would we
need to peer to find
the God.
In fifty thousand years
could we produce
virtual constructs
with artificially
intelligent beings?
If so,
would we be
their gods?
Could these beings
we produced
evolve
to create
their own
virtually intelligent beings?
If so,
how far down
the rabbit hole
could it possibly go?
How many layers
of gods
could their
possibly be?
Perhaps more
than can be
possibly known!

Ah! The search for the godhead is never ending. Is it possible once we locate and corner him/her/it that life as we know it may come to an end? Provocative, interesting write!
Thank you seek for reading my work.
The Bible says in one place: 'God is....' Erm, that's a great help maybe - not! But He just IS - without beginning or end!
Humans have no way of knowing. That concept is way above our pay grade.
Thank you for reading my work.
