Ok, ok, sorry, got a little caught up in the argument there and used incomplete information that I shouldn't have. It took supersix2 and a time of 4 AM to calm me down. Sorry, I do that sometimes. You and I just have to agree to disagree as supersix2 says. Yet everything in our lives does esentially come down to faith. Whether that faith be that when you're crossing the street, some nut driving too fast doesn't hit you, or whether or not you believe in God, Allah, Buddah, Krishna, what have you. As far as the creation cannot be greater than the creator, it's true. Look at all that we humans have created, from the wheel, to the newest Intel Processor. None of those things that we came up with can match the prowess of the human mind, which can compute twenty thousand, trillion calculations per second. No computer can do that, and no computer will be able to be fully human. Sure, we can make it self aware, and give it the ability to make decisions, yet it will not be able to feel as we do, or react as we do. (Yeah, I know, I'm talking about a future Data, but I'm still trying to make a valid point here.) I personally see the brain as a gift from God, but you won't, because you don't believe in a God (I don't mean that in a hostile way tho). Humans only use two percent (or is it ten?) of their brains to do what they do everyday. If we tap into that other 98/90 percent, who's to say what the potential of man's of achievements is? We will be limitless in our abilities if we could ever fully harness the complete power of the brain, I mean, it would be to the extent where George Lucas would have to start telling us what was going on. Anyways, I have learned something from you debaser as well as from others who oppose my viewpoint, I certainly hope you haven't learned anything from me due to my passionful and reasonless statements. Good Day, and Good Night.
