God (per present beliefs) can raise the dead, even if all DNA has been destroyed; remove us from our universe; and create new universes, as complex and on the same scale as ours. It's possible that a sufficiently advanced ETI might be seen by some as a small-g god, but as God...? Somehow, I doubt it.

OTOH, this is literally true: As God goes beyond Earth, He is an ETI. So I guess a sufficiently advanced ETI would be indistinguishable from God, because He is God.

Reading the thread and so far nobody has picked it up. I believe the full A.C. Clarke quote is "Any sufficiently advanced technology introduced to a primative society, is indistinguishable from magic." I think that by not having the full quote, the author tends to be a little disingenuous. My opinion.

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

Your concept of God is extremely limited.

No, God is an ETSCI (Extra-Time-Space-Continium Intelligence )that is beyond a man's or ETI's capability to measure, see, or comprehend.
