intelligence etc.

why are people so keen on this idea of not being able to understand (and ultimately program) intelligence/consciousness?

like anyone that parrots that rubbish from alan watts and penrose who ham fistedly misapply zen stuff or godels theorem.

Because there is no "definition "intelligence/consciousness". You can't understand undefined things. Same for "God", you can't understand or reason about, because it is just an undefined word.

Regarding "creator" - your mom is your creator.
