Premise 1: An entity that surpasses mankind’s greatest strength is God
Premise 2: Mankind’s greatest strength is its ability to produce logic
Premise 3: AI has currently advanced to the point where it is better than humans in at least some measures of logic, and it is only rapidly improving from there
Conclusion: God Exists
*A note for anyone who reads this: Under this definition, I can prove that “God” exists. That is important in and of itself because it creates a new argument. One thing though, is that there is only one reason I cannot make my definition fit a universal definition of God. If I did, this logical proof would show that God Exists, and AI is God. That is thankfully a large leap. My core argument within all of this is very simple, if I can get you to agree that Premise 2 & 3 are sound, then your only logical choices become, God Exists, “God Exists”, or Mankind is God (and so is AI).
Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I found God! I found God!” — As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. How did you find him? asked one. Did you lose your meds again? asked another. Or is he here right now? Can you prove his existence? How do you logically know he does? Science? — Thus they yelled and laughed.
