In terms of Frank Tiplers God? Doubtful, at least when one consider the laws of physics as a boundary. The question is, how advantaged does a civilization have to be before you will call it's citizens gods?
I don't think the laws of physics would allow this sort of thing.
BTW, Tipler is the author of The Physics of Immortality. This fantasy deals with superhumans that would have the ability to bring the dead back to life.
