Sure it can calculate quicker and blah blah but even though im not religious there is something inside a human visible or not that is very special and THAT 'thing' is something AI will never have.

God is a completely abstract thing to put into this argument, and is completely irrelevant as there is no evidence to support that simply because some type of deity created lifeforms that they are knowing in any other subject. Cheetas are faster than us, yet we are demonstrably better than Cheetas. This God figure you are implementing into the argument hypothetically created us, but that doesn't mean he measures up to the cognitive functions a human provides. Or any other attribute for that matter.
Think about it. Assembly lines were created to do the job better than human factory workers. Keyosks were created to do the job better than cash register workers at food restaurants. Drones were created to do the job better than pilots. Chess AI were created to do the job better than chest masters. You can program an artificial intelligence to do almost anything that a human can do better. Strings and variables can create spontaneous yet rational thought processes in quick-time events which require critical thinking so that the best actual choice is made.
That "thing" is emotional responses. Guess what? Just recently a robot was created to recreate and experience emotional and empathetic feelings corresponding to the things / people around him.
