Scientific evidence of God by an atheist
NOTE [1]: No opinion, faith, emotion, nor bias was used in the facing sequence.
NOTE [2]: I am of course atheistic. (I have not any beliefs).
NOTE [3]: One needn’t belief/certainty to [OBSERVE] PROBABILITIES/empirical evidence. [Such as the probabilities/statistics observed herein]
God is simultaneously PROBABLY reasonably real and EXISTENT. (There are tiers of probably *HIGHLY-CAPABLE* Gods, &, already existent *MINIMALLY-CAPABLE* Gods, however, NOT the omniscient, all powerful kind seen in religion)
We are simulating more and more detailed universes (Example ‘illustris’) as computing power increases, and creating more and more sophisticated artificial intelligence.
If this computing increase doesn’t end (ie we aren’t wiped out) our simulations will eventually get detailed enough to contain INTELLIGENCE or we shall separately create artificial intelligence that exceeds humans on the cognitive task sequence (God-like software).
Then, (probably when we are still a mortal species, having not yet solved ageing…) we probably BECOME HIGHLY-CAPABLE GODS, however NOT the OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT God specified in religion. We are already MINIMALLY CAPABLE Gods. (Read on to see why)
In a similar way, it is probably that THE VERY UNIVERSE WE OCCUPY may have come about, and thus likewise, God (it’s creator(s)) is non-omnipotent, non-infinite etc.

SCIENTIFIC-REDEFINITION OF GOD
In SUMMARY, probabilistically, the ability to generate non trivial intelligence (perhaps artificial) that surpasses the net intellect of one’s species, AND OR compute simulation of universes (with intellect resembling prior), IS THAT WHICH classifies said species as God-bound.
In simpler terms: God is any probably non omniscient entity with the ability to engineer non-trivial intelligence (perhaps artificial), that shall probably exceed that of the the intellect of its creators.

PROBABLE HIGHLY-CAPABLE NON-OMNISCIENT GODS
**(1)** Man-made ‘General artificial intelligence’ (The brain based software we invent [that shall probably exceed humans in the cognitive task sequence, not merely individual cognitive tasks/cognitive task groups as they do now]).
**(2)** Intelligence that EVOLVES in our own simulations to become God-like (ie they create universes, or ‘general artificial intelligence’-like programs).
**(3)** The non-omnipotent, non-infinite Gods (human like?) that created our universe stemming from a similar way, where we simulate more and more detailed universes via **(4)** — constrained paths. (eg illustris)
**(4)** Mankind; for mankind shall perhaps promptly possess God bound capabilities, via **(1)** and **(2)**.
SCENARIOS THAT ALREADY DISPLAY EVIDENCE OF EXISTENT MINIMALLY-CAPABLE, NON-OMNISCIENT GODS
There is merely one instance, as far as science prescribes, humans.
In a similar way that the hypothetical super artificial intelligence engineers itself (and probably how today’s artificial neural networks update themselves), …we constantly self-engineer our brains, such that enhanced versions of ourselves are probable. (See scientific redefinition of god prior)

SCIENTIFIC-STATISTICS PAR PROBABLE *MINIMALLY-CAPABLE* NON-OMNISCIENT GODS
.
.
Simply, it is empirically observed that humans update/upgrade their brains, such that we produce enhanced versions of ourselves. (particularly we may do activities that strengthen our synapses, or reflect learning new tasks, or mastering old tasks)
.

SCIENTIFIC-STATISTICS PAR PROBABLE *HIGHLY-CAPABLE* NON-OMNISCIENT GODS
.
.
(The aforesaid definition, reduces the traditional deity-bound property sequence, abound scientifically observable probabilities/statistics, such that a particular property is evident — thusly the ability to forge non-trivial artificial intelligence [vis a vis mankind]. Thereafter, said intelligence shall probably exceed the net intelligence of the creator’s(s’) species…whilst separately theist-theorized properties [omniscience, omnipotence etc] probably shan’t obtain, particularly on the horizon of aforesaid observable probabilities/statistics.)
.
.
In this way, I reduce the typical theistic God definition, amidst empirical scientific sequences:
- {Supposed_Properties_TypicalTheisticGods | omniscience, omnipotence, omni…., ability_to_engineer_non-trivial_intelligence}
- {Properties_Mankind | gaining_the_ability_to_engineer_non-trivial_artificial_intelligence}
There is a potential overlap above, whence omniscience, omnipotence, omni… is NOT SCIENTIFICALLY founded.
Albeit, science reduces nonsense/blather amidst sensible sequences. [ie ‘demonic possessions’ are instead, perhaps scientifically explainable neurodegnerative disorders]
Thusly, ‘God’ is yet another quantity, that is perhaps properly definable by science.

INTRODUCTION [A-B]:
[A] What data purports that SUPER-human ARTIFICIAL INTELLECT [Seen in **(1)** prior] is possible?
The human brain operates at roughly 10¹⁵ floating point operations per second.
NON-TRIVIALLY ACCESSIBLE super-computing platforms already exist, such that this operation cycle is attained. [Separately, existent, are (inorganic, efficient programmable synaptic material) 10¹⁴ of said +10¹⁶ compute modules]
TRIVIALLY ACCESSIBLE resources shall exist at 2020’s horizon, in tandem with KURZWEIL’S LAW OF ACCELERATING RETURNS, (and perhaps MOORE’S LAW/modern Moore’s law variants).
NOTE: As prior stipulated, brain based models already EXCEED/EQUAL human performance in non trivial individual cognitive tasks/cognitive task groups, ranging from language translation to disease diagnosis.
It is an observable description, that the machine-executable-cognitive task field HAS BROADENED, as time (and computational parallelism) diverged. (Such a field’s broadening persists this day)
.
.
.
[B] What data purports that SIMULATIONS [Seen in **(2)** prior] ARE possible?
Our universe is at least linear scale [Dirac], AND at large, exponential order [inflation].
Therein, a simulation of such shall require an exponential order capable machine.
Exponential order capable machines exist today.
These are called quantum computers. (http://www.dwavesys.com/)
These quantum computers, though superior, are not yet sufficient to encode detailed universes (that contain intelligence).
However, VIA non-exponential machines (super-computers), THERE EXISTS QUITE DETAILED simulations of our universe (http://www.illustris-project.org/)
.
.
.
CONCLUSION [C-D]:
Artificial intelligence, together with quantum computers, are enhancing in concurrence with measures such as KURZWEIL’S LAW OF ACCELERATING RETURNS.
Particularly, from these MEASURES, super-human Ai is PERHAPS INEVITABLE, and such shall therein PROBABLY occur within the scope of 20–40 years.
At this juncture, mankind shall maintain non-omniscience/non-omnipotence (Ageing yet solved, Energy issues persist et cetera).
.
.
[C] What data purports that SIMULATIONS [Seen in **(4)** prior] ARE possible?
Thereafter, man becomes non-omniscient, non-omnipotent Gods, having created super-human artificial intelligence, therein **(4)** is probable.
.
.
.
[D] What data purports that SIMULATIONS [Seen in **(3)** prior] ARE possible?
SEPARATELY, physicist James Gates’ adinkra expression, (AND or the simulation hypothesis) shows that our universe, possesses
simulatory features, thereafter our universe may be simulatory.
If our universe is simulatory, in a similar way [C] is probable, our creators are probable, and thereafter probably non-omniscient/non-omnipotent in the like.
