Doe it really matter if God exists or not...?

God's existence would change nothing. If he did exist he'd just be a fancy programmer and we'd be a simulation of life. If he doesn't exist we just know that all we have is ourselves and the world as interpreted through our senses, as arbitrarily defined as they may be but I'm not going to get into the philosophy of solipsism.

At the end of the day whether or not God exists we wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference, we'll just live our lives unaffected until our inevitable end.

I love thinking about this as we could ourselves become God through transhumanism and/or become God of our own "virtually created" universes. In a sense we already do that to some small extent in video games, esspecially people who create engines and then use that engine to create there own vision. Advance this thinking with the current rate of tech advancement by a couple of decades/centuries and we'd Be Gods in both of those scenarios. 

Yeah exactly, afterall the universe and everything it contains is a manifestation of what we interpit to be empirical reailty. In a way we are already the God of our own lives, it's our brain generating what we percieve to be real and there's absolutely no way to prove anything truely exists as it appears via our sensory perception.

That's an interesting idea, what happens if or when we reach the technological singularity where AI is so advanced it develops consciousness, would it be considered life and would that mean their human programmers are their God?
