I don’t think that advanced computer circuitry, just because it is advanced, can create a sentient, self-aware, alive being.

Let me bounce this off your minds: When some people who have experienced NDEs describe the human soul, it is a separate entity that attaches itself to the sub-conscious mind. This animates the human biological animal into something different. That soul finds a symbiotic relationship with the body.

Suppose for a moment that a soul could engage is such an attachment with a machine, even a humanoid machine.

Food for thought.

Good post.

We don’t how this stuff works—which means it would be a major blunder to pretend we do.

“That soul finds a symbiotic relationship with the body.”

According to Jesus and James, the body without the spirit is dead. The spirit you refer to gives life to the body.

The “attaching” mechanism is referred to as the silver cord in Ecclesiastes.
