"So I guess a sufficiently advanced ETI would be indistinguishable from God, because He is God."

Your concept of God is extremely limited.

It's a trick question (tautology), as I see it, based on the definition of the word "sufficiently."

The author could say that any ETI who can't convince you he's God is not sufficiently advanced, so the original assertion must be true (can't be false).

I had logic in college. I drove my logic teacher a little of the deep end. Well....I and the other students did. One day, she looked at us and quietly told us to just get up and walk out. She told us not to say anything, just leave. The next semester, she started teaching at a different college.

Anyway, trick questions are only tricky for those who think in certain ways. There are different ways of perceiving the universe. And my perception is, ET is just another created being.
