Would it take that long? With human intelligence growing at an exponential rate, would it be reasonable to think within the next couple of millenia? And with human genetic engineering we may be able to even further speed up this process.

It is mentioned on a post here that the Hebrews think that god created everything with something that already existed which I am guessing is energy and matter.
Now lets assume that we even get to a point where we can create matter and energy from nothing, would that make us something higher than God? Or can nothing ever be higher than God? if a civilization is capable of doing all of these things than is God the thing or civilization that did it first?

You've always got the question that if God created matter, where did God come from? He just is?
If we're willing to consider the possibility of something having always existed like God, why shouldn't we also be willing to consider the possibility of other things having always existed as well such as matter and energy?
Here's another interesting read on the possibility that life along with matter and energy may have always existed.

And if life has always existed, couldn't we be 100% statistically sure that some super advanced civilization is out there? The mathematical possibility may be almost infinately small, but with infinite time to work with that possibility will occur.
Or, we could just shrug and say, "I don't know."
