I would ask him to flood Mars, much as he supposedly did to Earth. Anyone who can inundate titans such as Olympus Mons deserves to be called a god.

Blatant, unrestrained optimism for our efforts once we have the data, of course!Ender wrote:How do you figure?

It wasn't really very serious; I'm talking about fufilling part of freakin' Genesis. I guess that wasn't a very good joke.

I think a reasonable and perhaps the most obvious feat for God to perform would be his apparent ability to create something from nothing. Granted that God's abilities may make use of currently existing material already present in the universe, but when you have scripture describing his process of creation as "Let there be light.", well it'd be impressive to see in person.
