It is interesting to see and hear different opinions on becoming “god like”. I am not the most religious person but I am open to the different views and opinions people have. Some see divinity as unattainable while others think we may possibly be closer then we know.
The definition that is currently in the dictionary for god is...
"a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship"
and
"the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshiped as creator and ruler of the universe"
I guess I mean being immortal, fully understanding ourselves and the universe in its entirety. Or do you believe that there our limits to our intelligence or boundaries in science that we will never be able to cross. Are humans completely capable of understanding everything given enough time, or are there limits to what we can collectively accomplish?
Depending on where you put your beliefs, you might side with either definition. In philosophy, I think it is put more so in that of being perfect in wisdom and goodness. If one has the capacity to be “perfect” then yes it is attainable. But the word perfect brings a meaning of no fault in any means and by that standard, nobody is ultimately and fully perfect.

One can not fathom the idea of being God-Like as there is no concrete knowledge as to what qualifies an individual for such a position. Sure we have developed our own notion as to what defines a god, but is it truly the arsenal of ethereal abilities that defines a god or is it something more. In agreement with Aristotle, I believe that through contemplation and analyzation we as humans can detach our selfs from our mortal plight.
