To: Havoc

"I will agree that your response is emotional and doesn't address the point."

Hmmm... I must be getting through to Havoc! He agrees with me now! What's that? He agrees with me that I'm an idiot?

I guess I set myself up for that!

What I was trying to say was that I don't mean to argue those doctrinal points with you, because I think while they are important, they are not the most important thing. Christ accepted the thief on the cross, who had faith in Christ, without asking him his take on the relation of his faith to his works.

It may be true that everyone has faith in something. however, Catholics have faith in Christ, and you still haven't shown why their faith in Christ is actually faith in some sci-fi evil duplicate Christ. I still don't get how you think you can say with certainty that the prayers of Catholics refer to someone other Jesus.

This is an evo thread, though, so I'll just ask you what I've been asking others. What do you think of this? http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/May05/selfrep.ws.html
Is this self-replicating robot the first step in creating Von Neumann machines that can adapt on their own? Could machine evolution then outpace the organic kind in some way? http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/V/vonNeumannprobe.html
