You're missing the part where the robot was created by us.

  • Wow, that makes it even dumber. That idea was literally also in Genesis as the original sin of man: "You shall be as Gods."

    Edit, for posting too fast: I don't consider the response below to be in good faith, for if there is a God, nothing could be more offensive than to deliberately try to knock him down a few pegs to be "plausible"; while considering the Big Bang to be "plausible" because that doesn't count as "fantasy style magic."

    • You're being downvoted for a bad read of the material. Any comparisons to God are intentional and deliberate - but mostly serve to knock God down a peg or two by grounding it in something plausible instead of the faith based miracles and straight up fantasy style magic from the Bible.

      Futurama has a great episode where Bender meets God (who has merged with a computer) that tackles similar themes.

      If you find this to be a harsh reaction, maybe consider how the wording of your initial comment is an effective provocation to anyone who doesn't share your belief system.
