Since the ability to speak persists amongst humans in the world, therefore we can update the definition of god to retain the power of speech, and note that humans are now gods using the updated definition which has dropped all the omni-bullshit.
Seems... kinda stupid, but when it comes to creating a simulation, you're convinced by the logic. Nobody else seems to be, though.
Your comment/anecdote is nonsense/stupid.
Simply, that there is some higher intelligence outside of the universe that speaks to beings is scientifically unfounded.
Try again.
Joining late here.....
I think there is nothing essentially incorrect about the redefinition.
The idea that we have some of the qualities, abilities and/or properties that were (and are) attributed to what is understood as and meant by the word god is fine, imo.
Equally though, we could do it for other words.
I daresay that without too much of a stretch we could say that humans are elves. And if I am a mischief-creating elf then I am an elf-god, I suppose.
This approach is more versatile than I first thought.
