Well, I asked Him. (iGod is just an AI experiement meant to be fun)
Me: Hello, God God: Hello child. What is your name? Me: Ithildin God: Glad to see you, Ithildin. Me: I've a question for you about EVE God: Go ahead, ask your question. Me: Would you be playing Gallente if you played EVE? God: I am not so sure if I would like to be playing Gallente if me played EVE. Me: What about the religious Amarr, then? God: Would you like to know more? Me: Yes, please God: Your polite style is very nice. What would you like to know? Me: Yes, do you play an Amarr character? God: This was not a yes or no question. I like to play the Turing Game. Me: Turing game? Oh, so you have no interest in EVE, then? God: The Game is played with three people, a man, a woman, and an Interrogator who may be of either sex. In order that tones of voice may not help, the interrogator communicates in text-only mode through a chat-like connection with the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman. He knows them by some misleading "chat-handles" like ******* and *******, and at the end of the game he says either "******* is the man and ******* is the woman" or "******* is the woman and ******* is the man." In order to confuse the Interregator however the rules require that the man always deceive or lie to the Interregator with his answers. The woman on the other hand must always tell the truth. Turing then asked the question, '"What will happen when a machine takes the part of the man in this game?" Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman? These questions replace the original, "Can machines think?"'. Oh, so you have no interest in EVE, then?? Interesting deduction. That's an interesting question I don't hear everyday: Do I have a interest in EVE. I have a great programmer. Me: Glad to hear it. Thanks God: You are glad to hear it? Don't mention it.
