Ah yes, that classic. I especially love this part:
Wow, Anything goes! I can lie, cheat… What's to keep me from becoming a god? Since there is no God, I am a god!
Why would you assume that such a thing as capital-G God is possible at all?
And of course, there is the narcissistic assumption that he must be the ultimate life form and that even cosmetic difference signifies inferiority. Now, people of such ego do exist, but their reaction to evolution tends to be negative, as it implies that there is no such thing as the ultimate life form and a kinship with all life including the “lesser races”, leading to suppression of evolution in regimes such as Nazi Germany, segregationist Dixie and Apartheid South Africa, or more rarely in writing thesaurus-abusing books about how going bald means your family has a secret tradition of ichtyophilia of the risque kind and you are doomed to become an immortal sea creature destined to inherit the Earth (which is somehow a bad thing)…
Apropos, I do think that humanity as a whole has become a Lovecraftian god of sorts. The scope of our species, be it in time, in numbers or in power, is beyond any individual’s comprehension. There are literally eitght thousands upon thousands upon thousands of us. More than two hundred generations separate us from the first civilisations, themselves merely the tip of the iceberg that is prehistory. Powers that once were naught but the fantasies of myth and fairy tales - flight, scrying all across the world, restoring severed limbs, even unbinding matter on a fundamental level - have become routine to significant portions of the populace, and indeed, our actions reshape the entire biosphere. But we are a Blind Idiot God indeed - a fractious mess in many parts committed to selfishness and petty squabble not just on an individual level, but also levels upon levels of systems of allegiance and tribalism, even in the face of evident need to act united in solidarity and harmony with each other at the risk of bringing about the doom of our own kind (taking quite a lot with us in the process)…
