ANNOTATION:
the supreme being will be a machine
In Wired's special anniversary issue Jan 2000 there was an article by Frank J. Tipler that, in my opinion, explains why god is yet to come.
Near the end of time our progency will have turned every last atom in the universe into computing machinery. Furthermore, this computer-cum-universe will be able to guide the manner of the universe's collapse in a way that maximizes its computational power to infinity. By the very end of time, this universal computer will know everything it's possible to know. If our descents are anything like ourselves, one of the first things they'll do with this processing power is simulate everything in the past. So eventually everything, everybody that has ever existed will be ressurected inside a living machine indistinguishable from god.
