No, No, it is impossible. This process is exactly similar to division by zero where no answer found.

Regards, Emad

The answer is clear, you do not need a mathematical process, the answer is No, it is impossible

"Humans can be like a God, but can never be a God"....it is my personal view and i am open to expert's opinions and views...

Human beings were created by G-d to achieve ethical perfection in their mortal bodies and to be partners of G-d to repair this physical world. The empirical results, so far, are not very convincing; this is not a matter of any official religion, but of human deeds, i.e. the human species is very very far from any type of practiced brotherhood, in ethical, economic and ecological terms, and this would be the physical measure to please our creator.

never

No one can be like God. It's impossible!!!!!!!

not at all

Ok Dickson , let's not get into this debate ...

Let's define humanity with clarity :) as ages have shown we are work in progress and not there yet with perfection ...

What about we being asked to be imitators of God?

I agree with all RG Colleagues. The response is no, it is impossible.

It is definitely impossible, that humans will be like God:

He is the creator, we are his creations.

He made the laws of nature, and he is able to overcome this laws - to make miracles.

Human beings can make miracles only in extreme rare cases and always by the contribution of God.

It was the original sin of human beings to want to be like God independently from God.

In fact, if we try to live in community with God and try to respond to his love with love and obedience, God offers us to adopt us like his children.

And God invites us to contribute to:

Development of increasingly just, peaceful and human societies, in which the people care for each other and all human beings can live and develop their genuine personalities.

Construct societies which allow all human beings not only to develop their corporal and mental abilities but also to develop their spirituality and allow them to prepare themselves for the deepest sense of their lives: to live in community with God, their creator – in this world and in the beyond.

For more details see following document which deals with religion, evolution and the purpose of human evolution. It is seen from the point of view of a palaeontologist, computer scientist and Christian. You can download the document from https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315654521

Furthermore exists a Researchgate project with a similar topic: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Christianity-and-Evolution

We can be like God in the sense of emulating God's communicable attributes, such as love, justice, and mercy. But we cannot be like God in the sense of emulating God's incommunicable attributes, such as omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.

I side with the naysayers here, but has everyone here forgotten that Jesus was supposed to be both human and divine? So if one is a nonheretical Christian one has to believe that it is possible in at least one case.

I think no

Thank you respected colleagues for your interesting and fascinating answers on the subject. However, there are yet the need for some further clarifications:

@Prof. Arben: 'who said that the humans were created in the image of our maker?'

Genesis 1:26-27New International Version (NIV) :26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Colossians 1:15-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15 [a]He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For [b]by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He [c]is before all things, and in Him all things [d]hold together. 18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

@Prof. Arben: 'it is rather nonacademic question...Creation vs THE CREATOR'

English Standard Version Ephesians 5:1-Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. It is not academic to look into how we can imitate the greatness of our maker in our research endeavors?

@Prof. Kirk: Can we be like God?

'We can be like God in the sense of emulating God's communicable attributes, such as love, justice, and mercy.'

@Prof. Andreas: Can we be like God?

'It is definitely impossible, that humans will be like God'

Is it possible to be like God?

In what contexts can humans be like God and not parallel God himself?

How could the bible say Jesus was the image of the invisible God?

What does it mean to be like God?

Imitators of God?

His marvelous works or attributes?

How can researchers streamline the high degree of dedication to hard work of the creator in their research activities?

Thanks and best regards

A nice input from Marcelo Eduardo Rojas Vidal

Of course no, I can make a picture of my own, or a statue of me, but it will never be me. God make us like his image, but we will never have the power of God.

First Define what is "God". Then only you can find your answer.

As per Hindu philosophy God is exist in Human..and Human exist in God..So why not ?The only thing is ..we need to be knowledgeable for understanding that..thats it. ..I believe in that

Your Karma ( work or deed) makes you above the normal humans....If is it so then why not......

Dear Dickson, no human can ever be a God.

Best regards,

Janusheva

Dear Prof. Violeta,

Thank you for your truthful comment. God is superlative in wisdom, power, might and everything which is unparalleled and unmatched. This is an undisputed fact. However, we can be like him by mimicking his dealings with people such as showing love, care and affection for others. Pursuing truth as God is the arbiter of truth in research and not falsifying data. Being hardworking and pursuing excellence that is close to perfection. Are there no other ways we can imitate the originality and ingenuity of God? Best regards

Dickson Adom

Allah (god) is creating human. There is nothing like God.

On the other hand if humanity gathered, they can not create a fly.

Adnan M. Qadir

Dear Prof. Subrata,

Thanks dearly for your nice input. God is believed by many to be the creator of the universe and everything in it. He is the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent spiritual Being whose power, personality and works are beyond any thought. He is invisible, and has a spiritual body. Humans who imitate his good deeds reflect his 'image' (personality). Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Prof. Karthik,

Thanks for the many lessons in your beautiful quotes. I am very touched by them. It is very possible to be like God (imitate) in how we treat humans though we can perfectly do this as He does it. I am very grateful.

Dickson Adom

Dear Prof. Sachin,

I am very grateful for your beautiful comment. Indeed, our works make us greater than our human nature. If we carefully imitate our maker by exhibiting His applaudable qualities, we can be greater, closer to Him though as humble humans on the earth. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Professors Drishya and Arun,

Thanks for your valuable comment which seem to resonate together. God lives in humans? Probably the traits of God within us and our having his power makes God a part of us. However, in Being, God is distinct and lives in the higher heavens while humans reside on this earth. Thank you and best regards

Dickson Adom

Thanks so much Prof. Nirmala. I am very grateful for your straight to the point answer. Best regards

Dickson

Dear Prof. Oscar,

Many thanks for your valuable point. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson

Thanks to the question, people can not be like God

Thanks my friend for your valuable answer.

God - gives and forgives

Human - gets and forgets

Dear Prof. Selvam,

Indeed humans cannot equal God(Allah) in anyway! His greatness is beyond measure! Thanks so much. Best regards

The question: How does the bad come into the world? is an old problem of philosophy of religion (Leibniz), because if God is good then also His creation. But this is only the case if God exists really, independent of the longings and projections of man who has produced quite different ideas of the "real" God, every claimed. There much competition between several Gods in corresponding relations; but only in the human mind. So the answer is clear for everyone.

Dear Prof. Hein,

I appreciate your interesting argument. God out of His wisdom did not create man as robots to automatically mimick His right paths. He has given mortals the freedom to make their decisions and wholeheartedly serve him out of their free will. Unfortunately, some have abused this wonderful privilege that would make God know that we indeed love Him by engaging in vile things. Your question: How did badness come into the world? is answered affirmatively:

Romans 5:12New International Version (NIV)

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

Genesis 3:1-6 talks of the disobedience of the first human pair who listened to the devil as the cause of sin in the world. However, many humans have demonstrated faithfulness towards God. They have shown this in their behavioral attitudes by living clean and morally chaste life deserving of their creator. Thank you and best regards

Dickson Adom

If Allah exist as a being, we can't, because no being can be like another being. I Allah don't exist then we can't also.

Never. No one can be like GOD. A programmer create a program but program cannot like the his own programmer.

Dear Prof. Shahbaz,

Many thanks for your candid opinion. Yet, humans can try to learn in a humble way, the beautiful deeds of God in our dealings with our fellow humans, Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Prof. Amal,

Indeed, Allah is the greatest amongst everything. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson Adom

I like to be man, not God (of which religion?). There are so many suffering people, so much injustice, so much violence in the world, responsible to be for this - who does this strive for? That are such people who try to be God or it is God's will, or it is not God's will, but he is sometimes absent, and in absence happen many things.

Dear Prof. Hein,

I understand your sentiments and higly respect your submission. It will be wrong for any human (creation) to be God (creator). But the untold suffering does not in any way debunk the existence of God. It rather exemplifies His wisdom of wanting humans to reckon that they cant rule over themselves devoid of God. Thus, very soon, God will intervene in human affairs and bring countless peace to the righteous while destroying the ungodly (Judgement Day). Thanks

Dickson Adom

No at all simply because people lack perfection.

Liqaa

Thanks dear Sister Prof.Liqaa. We are not near it at all！ I appreciate your valuable comment. Best regards

Dickson

Never , but can human become from the righteous worshipers of Allah

Dear Prof. Qassam,

Thanks for your truthful comment. Of course, our righteous course of life would make us great worshippers of God （Allah）who has abundantly given us everything we need including our priceless life. Best regards

Dickson

If God is omnipotent (all-powerful) then God has the power to make humans be like Himself. Therefore, humans can be like God if God wills it.

Many thanks Prof. Karl for your valuable comment. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson

Simple answer is that

1. Human created motor cycle can motor cycle be human?

2. Human created computer can computer be human?

3. Human created refrigerator can it be human?

4. Human created pipe can pipe be human?

I think every body will understand that creature can never become like the creator.

5. Do you want that what you invented become like you it mean resembling you mean your wife will also consider him like you. No you will never desire and no body else desires so.

6. Similarly GOD (ALLAH) never wants that what HE created become like HIM.

7. As we invented things for certain purpose GOD(ALLAH) has created us for certain purpose that is to worship Him and serve the humanity.Finally he will judge who fulfilled his commands and who disobeyed. Rewards, punishments and forgiveness will be given at the day of judgement.

Dear Prof. Ashique，

I am most grateful for your easy format tutoring on the theme. Thank you so much. Best regards

Dickson

Can creation be like the creator？Our humility should move us in extolling the mightiness of God （Allah）, living well according to His high statutes.

Dear Dr. Amina,

Thank you for your beautiful comment that indeed magnifies the superiority of Allah! Best regards

Dickson

God created us in his image and likeness

You are utterly right wisdom. However, what is the meaning of 'God creating us in His image and likeness?'

Never! No one can be like God!! It' is impossible!!!

We as humans can never be like God.

Dear Drs Hana and Shamji,

I am very grateful for your affirmative views on the superiority of God. Thanks and best regards

Dickson

Yes we can imitate and emulate God, we can even share some communicable attributes of God but we can never be equal to God.

Never be humans like God, God is the King of heaven and earth

Thanks dearly Dr. Nihad for your ocise but truthful comment. I am very grateful. Best regards

Thanks Dr. Ajibola for your excellent submission. Best regards
