Do we want to be like God?

"It's our inate thing to create something in our likeness."

Stop for a moment to think about some of the things scientists are working on creating today. What did you come up with? We are trying to create robots, artificial intelegince, a printer that can make anything out of carbon, self-sustaining life forms... the list goes on. But all of these link back to one thing, we want to create things with out the help of nature.

The first time this happened when was God himself decided to create. When there was nothing he decided to create people in his own likeness and create a world for us to live in. He designed nature to give us all that we should ever need and the tools to evolve.

This idea leads to many questions. My first question, Is it okay to want to "Play" god? God made us in his likeness, in doing so we are like him. It sounds goofy but think of it this way. If he made us in a way he saw himself then is it okay for us to create and try to mimic him? We are trying to play god and create things out of nothing, in our likeness. Robots is the best example. We keep trying to make them to resemble us as closely as we possibly can.

If the above is true then is it okay for us to create our own nature. Consider the idea of the digital banana. The idea that we could create a carbon printer that could print virtually anything out. Were talking food, organs, plants, and more. We are fast fowarding nature's process and trying to make it as convienent as fast food. Is this okay?

In my opinion both are okay because, God gave us the tools to do this. He gave us our brains and our power to evolve in order to make life easier. We have come leaps and bounds in medicine, treatments, technology, and several other fields. However the big question is when does it become unethical. At what point do we take the role of God to far? It's something that needs to be adressed, and soon.
