if you were a god would you give authority to the human you made? why?

Answer:

Okay, so I suddenly find myself with God level powers. I assume that “God level powers” refer to something like omnipotence. (Why else call it “God level” powers if one could merely have “great powers” or “superhuman powers”, like Superman or the Hulk?)

So, what would I do for 60 seconds? Well, I’d first have to figure out how to also get omniscience, omnibenevolence and probably omnipresence as well. Why? Because yielding absolute power seems like a massive responsibility that necessarily require assistance from certain of these other attributes.

For example, I would probably need to have the kind of comprehensive knowledge and ability to act everywhere at once that would allow me to know exactly when, where, how and how much of my powers to apply because of what the ultimate effects would be. Because who thinks that a shortsighted idiot (limited in knowledge and reach) with unlimited powers would be a wise thing?

Furthermore, I would also need to have the kind of goodness and integrity that would ensure that I apply my powers for the right reasons and in the right way to achieve a maximal amount of goodness in the world without impinging on the free will of others. Real absolute power will probably really corrupt absolutely if not balanced with real absolute goodness. And who thinks that anything good would come from an all-powerful dictator?

And while I’m pondering the implications of being all-powerful without also being all-wise, all-knowing, everywhere present and all-good, I would suddenly realize that 60 seconds isn’t very long and that I’ve just squandered an opportunity to exercise God level powers…

Oh, well, God knows it’s probably for the best.
