Why is associating anyone or anything with God the greatest sin

For me personally, I began to really understand how superior our creator is when I started medical school. The design, complexity, and adaptability of the human body is quite fascinating; but making sense of the brain's complexity is truly mind-boggling.

Think about this: I'm currently formulating my thoughts based on my experience & emotion. My brain is signaling my fingers to move so that I can type this virtual comment to you. I'm also proofreading my words in the process of typing. I can feel my fingers hit they keys on my MacBook. I also hear the "click-clack" noises my mechanical keyboard is making. In order to acquire my keyboarding skills, I took a class in grade school to train my brain. Every few minutes I'll actually hear the fan in the background, only to realize that I've been tuning it out. Not to mention that my tired eyes are currently blinking involuntarily as a reflex. Yet this is only a basic and partial explanation of the brain's functionality. Now tell me that our creator isn't something greater than all of us?!
