Is it possible to evolve into a god?

As a follow up the last post I am now asking if it is possible to evolve into a god?
Evolution supposedly starts with bacteria and develops from there, but is there any limit to evolution? And have we reached it?

Evolution normally takes place over many generations, but as the human spices becomes more advanced both medically (advances in cloning e.t.c) and through technology (advances in nano-technology e.t.c), is it possible that we could "engineer" our own evolution.

This then leads to the question how much can we evolve or how advanced can we become? How advance can any spices become? Is it possible that a species could reach a perfection and in a way become a god?

There are a number of factors that influence evolution: the environment in which the species lives and other species (normally the predator and the prey) being just two. The only predator that humans have left to fear is itself (both through conflict and through the polliution of it's enviroment).

The only way that humans are ever going to survive let alone evolve is to stop killing itself through conflict and pollution.
