What does it mean, God being discovered scientifically, or
Superintelligence? And what is the future science dealing with an endlessly
complicated world? Can a human intellect create any model, theory, concept,
even primitive, for an endlessly complicated object, uncognizable in its parts?
It is hardly to do so in terms of the contemporary science. In fact, all
the science originally is constructed on an ``atomic'', ``matrioshka''logic,
acting in a linear world, and suggests the existence of independent and
countable elements. And the mathematics supporting the contemporary physics
is based on a pastoral experience with numbers
-- a herd of sheep can be divided to separate ones and can be
counted. (This is
also surprising: how the science with this slight luggage in hand succeeded
to penetrate into the deepest mysteries of the Universe and of the atoms?)
This classical scientific method has operated
in terms of the approach that suggests transition from simple to more
complicated objects 
. Thus the sense of the modern science is ``to explain''.
But a human lexicon has also so important words as ``to understand''
and ``to believe''. One of them rather belongs to the art, and especially
to the literature (which, as the science, uses the language of words), the
other -- to the religion. But how all this can be joined together, how
can formal mathematical expressions be ethically coloured? And how the
scientifically discovered God which has been inevitably reached by the
modern simple science correlates with the religious God?
Certainly, the search of an extraterrestrial intelligence must be one of the most important directions in natural-scientific investigations. Although it must be clearly realized that the discovery of habitable planetary systems, being interesting in itself, hardly can provide any significant advance. Such a discovery resembles to the discovery of indians by Columbus. It is important, of course, if we are aware of a new biological species, but much more important are their ideas of God, of Good and Evil.
