Recently in a Think Tank an Atheist and a Devout Christian debated the possibility of researchers building a computer replica, which would work just like a human mind. The Atheist declared; sure it will be soon within the next decade. The Christian said, it will never be possible because God made man and because; Man is a spirit in a physical body. The atheist did not counter the argument that man could be a spirit only debated that he was made by a god, rather than evolving a brain that worked in spiritual way and if so that would not preclude quantum computing from allowing researchers to duplicated it. The Christian went on to add that if the Atheist did not believe that god made man then he must have other beliefs as well and then the Christian Scholar stated: You see, I am guessing that by your theory all existence is chaotic, and all arrangements of physical particles are by chance. The atheist seemed a little perturbed by the instant labeling and said; This is one giant leap indeed; did I say that? Why do you put words in my mouth Dear Sir? Are you offended that I have no invisible friends or refused the mass religious brain washing? Many things can appear to chaos, but are rather many various trends or patterns running together causing what appears now mid stream to be pure chaos or random. The same way I assume that one would interfere with gravity waves, time and the chaos (energy) to jump out. I would recommend Steven Wolfram A New Type of Science as an interesting discussion on the order of things and chaos or what appears to be. Here is a point to our discussion. http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?s=51caeb3ab1d2fbc1a6a9f416030867a9&showtopic=1597&st=0&#entry4128 It appears that the atheist was neither Calvanistic or Fate Driven, never the less the Christian proceeded to continue with his line of reasoning. What do you think? Do you believe mankinds top research and the latest artificial intelligence studies will finally duplicate the inner workings of a human brain? What do you think of the Atheist and Christians Debate on the question of man being a spirit in a Physical Body? Think on this in 2006. |
