I recently saw an argument that Google is God.
With wireless technology, Google can be accessed from anywhere, hence is
omnipresent.
Google gives access to a lot of information, hence is omniscient.
Now, I can poke holes in each of these arguments with specific examples
-- but the clincher is, I don't see (and the argument didn't claim) that
Google is omnipotent.
So Google fails the God test, as far as I'm concerned. :)
