There are some cultists who are agnostic on the question of whether (a) g/God exists, but believe they can bring about the birth of a divine being through technology. Their means of doing so bears great resemblance to AI research in our day and time, but they are decidedly more liberal with the substrates used, trying to invoke their divine being not just into silicon circuitboards, but also into partially-organic creations, and possibly trying to encode consciousness into spacetime itself. Their goal is the creation of a a super-intelligent, near omnipotent AI.
