Suppose intelligent life, whether it's just us, or us plus many various alien forms, or just the alien forms if we do ourselves in, continues to evolve.
Suppose the evolution of consciousness continues for millions, and then billions, of years to the point where it is limited not just to existence through EM waves as we know consciousness now, but through the other forces as well, be it gravity waves, or whatever.
Suppose such consciousness reached a point of development, say a trillion years from now, where it was no longer bound by ordinary 4-dimensional spacetime and had the capacity to exist "outside" in the extradimensional realm, outside of ordinary time, in effect being "Eternal" and being so extremely evolved at this point to have the power to influence space, exert forces, spawn Universes, what have you.
Viewed from any conceivable perceptive or philosophical angle, would this be in any way distinguishable from "God"?
Could this have occurred already many 'universes' ago?
Does the phrase 'have occurred' even have any meaning in such an extradimensional context?
