the point at which total computational power will rise to levels so far beyond anything that we can imagine that it will appear nearly infinite and thus be indistinguishable from omniscience--may be upon us as early as 2050.

Just wait until you try to install Windows on a computer like that. I don't think omniscience will be a word we use to describe it. ;)

So we'll be able to pick up a copy of God v2.1 at Curcuit City for 44.95 plus tax? Will God get viruses?

Hell. Total computational power rose beyond anything I can comprehend 20 years ago but I do not worship my PC. We don't need to 'comprehend it' to use it.
