It's easy to get lost in these unsolvable paradoxes when you try reducing all of creation down to logic. Problem is, logic is not all of creation.
Consciousness requires a soul. Otherwise you're confused stardust sans mission.
A computer is just a calculator. You might as well ask if {addition, subtraction, multiplication, division} is God.
