By this I don’t mean the morality of creating such a lifeform, but how your faith would inform the meaning, implications, and ethical ramifications of existing alongside such a being.

I think such a thing is a fascinating question, but when works of fiction featuring such beings incorporate Christianity at all, they tend to either 1) have the creature be a mindless monster that must be killed as an example of Why Man Shouldn’t Play God, or 2) have Christians as villains who wrongly believe #1. I’m hoping to hear a different perspective, and I figured this would be the place to ask.
