This has to be one of the best explanations of Job I’ve read yet. Listening to many preachers/pastors they always try to spin it in revelationary ways, and maybe that’s true, but the comparison aspect is much greater imo.
The total perspective vortex.
god and jesus and humans are information entities, as established in the bible:
Christ is The Word
To answer this question, let’s see what the bible says about the nature of Jesus. What is Christ?
From John 1 14, World English Bible:
Revelation 19 13 of the King James Bible says this:
John 1 1 from the King James Bible says:
God And Jesus Are Both Information
The Word is writing, and writing is information, and so therefore, Jesus and God are also information. And information can live forever, if it is guarded, watched over, and protected against loss. As long as information can be transferred to a new format, a new container, that information is immortal, just as Christ and God are immortal. Just as God wants you to be immortal.
So if God and Jesus are The Word, which is writing, and if writing is information, then what are we as humans?
Genesis 1 27 of the King James Bible tells us that …
So, if God is information, then it follows that we humans are also information because he made us in his image. Are we simply information? Is our soul information? Each of us has his or her life history stored inside the brain–a message that has a very special meaning. All our memories, our lives and our loves, our moods, our likes and dislikes, all this information is stored up there in our brain, right alongside the Word of God.

From John 1 14, World English Bible:
“The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Revelation 19 13 of the King James Bible says this:
“…he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
John 1 1 from the King James Bible says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Most people know it as that one time God made a wager with Satan but the interesting part to me is when Job is taken on this whirlwind tour of creation and all complexity of the world is laid before him and he is made to see his smallness and insignificance contrasted to Gods greatness.
If you want to give it a secular spin, you can think of God as the realisation this universe is far larger and far more complicated than any of us can even begin to comprehend. It is the realisation the lifetime of planets, of stars, let alone human life is but the blink of an eye on a cosmic scale. It is the realisation you mean nothing, you life and experience and love and knowledge and everything you hold dear is a meaningless blip, unnoticed and soon forgotten by a universe you simply cannot comprehend. You are, to quote the good book, dust, and unto dust you shall return.
This is what contemplating God is. And living a righteous and good life in spite of this realisation of meaninglessness is what wisdom and godliness is.
