From Optimization to God

I was in the process of debugging a code, when this thought hit upon me.

That human intelligence (i.e where we can predict certain thing based on our understanding) is definitely a process of optimization.

Let me explain:

I was working on a code in C. The code had some eight case statements in the switch. Understanding that some of the lines were common for all the cases I put them on top of the switch statement. This thing I must have done many times before, but I have correlated it with human intelligence for the first time

How?:

Again let me explain. Before Newton we thought that movement of earth and falling of apple had no correlation and thus there must have been fantastic theories for each of these aspects. Along came Newton and he "optimized" these two disparate facts and enhanced our knowledge.

So?:

So what? Don't you get it. As human intelligence develops we must be finding more and more facts that are essentially the same thing but manifested differently!

Soo?:

I mean c'mon, if we find that there is only one thing thing that is being manifested in all the different ways then we would have found it.

'it' what:

It is God!
