Brumar, if you are going to quote and support someone then at least have the decency to understand what they are saying.
"Tipler considers humans as computers, and claims that these computers will take possession of the universe and arrange our resurrection. Computers, coupled with construction units, will be dispatched to other planets and there make copies of themselves. In this way they will on our behalf colonize our galaxy and eventually the entire universe. Tipler realises that stars eventually exhaust their fuel, but no problem, the computer beings will 'restructure' Earth and Sun. They will even reverse the contraction of the universe, thus preventing the 'big crunch'. But in this process humans disappear, because they are transformed into an unlimited quantity of information, a kind of cosmic world spirit, which might also be called God. While Tipler has removed God, by means of the anthropic principles, from the origin of the universe, he introduces God at the end of the process in the Omega point. With a 129-page 'scientific appendix', bristling with impressive equations, Tipler makes it appear as if all of this has a solid scientific foundation, particularly in quantum theory. In my opinion this is neither science, nor theology, but low quality science fiction."
