Summary
If one day a programmer succeeds in creating a machine that can choose whether or not to perform a calculation in complete freedom, i.e. according to his or her own will, without any external element or chance determining the choice. Then this success will be no more than a reflection of the programmer's powerful intellectual and computer skills.
It's the same for God: man's freedom is the perfect image of God's omnipotence.
