Who created God?

Mogmich, I think that's it, it's all in how we describe god. I am an atheist by most common definitions of the word god, but perhaps not by yours. There are several definitions of "god" out there that I wouldn't necessarily disagree with though.

Adam Kemp, thanks for your observations. I agree a neural network would be required to achieve anything like real-time integration from the required peripheral inputs, and I rather doubt we'll mimic the speed or size of a human brain in my lifetime.

Side questions... Adam Kemp, have you given any thought to engineering an aware AI? Knowing your expertise with machine logic and familiarity with human consciousness, I wonder some if you'd disagree with a couple conclusions...
