Lets start: research has shown that human beings are incapable of discerning intelligence beyond a certain micro- or meta- threshold. For us to perceive intelligence, it has to fit within our behavioral framework. If we were to encounter intelligence operating outside that framework - on a micro-level, for instance - we would fail to see it. Similarly, if we were to come into contact with a far higher intelligence, a mind vastly superior to our own, we would see only chaos, as its reasoning would elude us. Decisions taken by a higher instance on intelligence would prove inscrutable to our intellect, having been made within parameters beyond the reach of human understanding. God would appear as a force of chaos, and therefore scarcely the entity that we would like to see governing the outcome of a football match, let alone a war. A being of that kind would exist beyond the limits of human perception. And that in turn prompts the question as to whether the meta-being God would be capable of perceiving intelligence on the sub-level of the human. Maybe we are an experiment in a petri dish after all..... Ok, Ok, just thinking out loud. Dont get your knickers in a knot.
