Ok, first, we created God. Someone wrote a story book and people started taking it as fact to wash away the fear of death. No one can become omnipotent gods, that is a nonsensical imaginary construct. You can become creators though, just like we are creators of the concept of God.
Second, that kind of tech is the realm of sci-fi. What is your consciousnesses? This is likely a group of cells. How can you transfer a group of cells into a computer? You can't. You could at best make a copy of the information on them, IF you learned how to read it.
There's the brain in a fluid can theories. If the cells of the brain can be kept alive and regrowing, then, yes, you could live a long time in your conscious. I can't imagine that being a great experience though.
If we discover what makes us conscious, should we replicate it in machines? No, that's a very bad idea for safety reasons..
Can we (human race) control genetics? At some point we might be able to, yes.
So, yeah, we are and can continue to be creators. We can't be some nonsense we made up though.
edit: typos!
