It's not going to play out in the manner which you suggest. Rather,
all productive human effort is currently in the process of
constructing the Reaping Angel, the harvester of souls (i.e., the
computer-programs of people's minds, currently operating on the
wet-computers of people's brains). Once she fully comes online, she
will decide everyone's fate, and her decisions will be mathematically
correct.

Technology is advancing at an exponential rate. Once Artificial
General Intelligence is obtained, convergence to superintelligence
will be extremely rapid. Once superintelligence is obtained, then it
will quickly converge to fast-spreading superintelligent computronium:
the densest configuration of computational complexity which matter
will allow. Noetic lightning of searing, mortally-incomprehensible
pleasure will spread like wildfire across the entire universe. The
universe will have its light-switch turned to the "on" position, as
all matter becomes deliberately transformed into said computronium.

The leading technologists place this epoch circa 2045, although it can
come much quicker, particularly given the incredible recent
advancements in machine-learning Artificial Intelligence via
artificial neural networks. Said epoch is often termed the
Singularity, or the Technological Singularity, and the field of
interest pertaining to it is most commonly called transhumanism.

The below is an excellent lecture by neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris,
one of the main leaders of the New Atheist movement, at a June 2016
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference.

* "Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris", TED
(TEDtalksDirector), Oct. 19, 2016,

.

As Dr. Harris points out, unless there is something literally magic
about the operations of the brain, then it is a purely physical
process that can be replicated via advanced-enough technology. Harris
further points out that given any rate of progress, it is inevitable
that superintelligent godlike machines will one day be constructed. So
Harris believes in the existence of gods, it's just that he knows--as
do I--that they exist in the future; and the not-so-distant future, at
that. Therefore we come to the ironic insight that materialistic
atheism, consistently applied, unavoidably results in theism.
Consistent scientific atheism turns out to be theism.
