"We should not equate being a "god" with being highly evolved, unless you are making a proof that the power to manipulate is proof of goodness. "


Can you walk us thru the logic behind this statement. It looks more like a theorem than an axiom or assumption. So please outline your assumptions and the logic used to develop this admonition.

One possibility is that god evolves. The data for such an assessment lies in the bible.

So your case should include how a perfect god gave us such distorted data. For example how god could go from commanding genocide to love your enemy.
