Is google god? or is it just some crackpots crazy rants. I think that although it is very close to god in many aspects it is not quite there yet. God cannot be replaced by a machine or a cleverly designed bit of software because god has to make moral and ethical choices which a computer cannot yet fathom. Yes it is true that Google can potentially be everywhere, contains almost all of human knowledge, and is potentially immortal. It is not god because it has no ethical or moral brain. It is merely a tool for human use. Also if google were god it would be all powerful which it isn't simply because it cannot function outside the realm of cyber space. sure it potentially controls all of cyberspace but it cant function anywhere but. So even though it is the closest measurable thing to god it isn't god. This debate can lead into whether god is real or not, but for the sake of argument lets assume god neither exists or doesn't exist.

I think Google is the closest thing to god. I mean, look at all its god like characteristics. It is not god, but it is close. The most important question is what defines a god? You say that "It is not god because it has no ethical or moral brain" but if god does exist what makes you think god has a ethical or moral brain? If He has this ethical or moral brain then why did He allow so many natural disasters that took so many lives.
I do agree with you when you said that this debate can lead to whether god even exist. No one can prove if god exist but no one can prove that god doesn't exist.
Very thought provoking!
God gave me Elaine, can google give me the perfect girlfriend? I don't think so
