If you want to leave God out of it,  we can use a different
metaphor - how about what is possible with a computer that
has infinite memory and infinite speed?   I have often
day-dreamed about owning such a computer and what I could
do with it.   

Such a computer could easily be used to build a very good
program that would run on the computer you have at home today,
just try all possible programs (up to some size and up to some
total cpu cycles) and test each one.   First test that your
programs play legal moves in all positions, then test for
strength (perhaps will a massive elimination tournament,  the
program that can survive a billion rounds is probably fairly
strong.)
