The God Conclusion
The God Conclusion is a logical deduction for faith in God. It is based on assumptions that are consistent with current science and emerging technology trends.
The assumptions amount to trust that humanity should evolve into superhumanity. The power of superhumanity should be decentralized. And superhumanity should use its power to create emulations of its evolutionary history.
Together, the assumptions prove that superhumanity probably would be more compassionate than we are and created our world. In other words, if we trust in our own superhuman potential then we should trust that we have a compassionate creator.
In some religions, a compassionate creator may qualify as God. So trust in our own superhuman potential may entail faith in God. Atheism may entail distrust in superhuman potential generally. And it may be particularly incoherent to combine atheism with trust in our own superhuman potential.
G1
BOTH superhumanity probably would be more compassionate than we are
AND superhumanity probably created our world

Deduction Support
- CO3 of the Compassion Argument
- CR3 of the Creation Argument
Assumptions
F1
humanity will not become extinct before evolving into superhumanity
(assumption)
CO1
EITHER humanity probably will become extinct before evolving into superhumanity
OR superhumanity probably would not have more decentralized destructive capacity than we
OR superhumanity probably would be more compassionate than we are
(assumption)
CO2
superhumanity probably would have more decentralized destructive capacity than we
(assumption)
CR1
EITHER humanity probably will become extinct before evolving into superhumanity
OR superhumanity probably would not create many worlds emulating its evolutionary history
OR superhumanity probably created our world
(assumption)
CR2
superhumanity probably would create many worlds emulating its evolutionary history
(assumption)
