I don’t have any reason God will allow ensoulment of silicon.
It would be cold comfort to be told that I had somehow been duplicated in ROM, and now I can be put to death in the flesh because I live in silicon. I’d say wait a minute, at best you’ve cyber twinned me. You have NOT made me immortal, I am still who I am.
Why is carbon more soulful than silicon?
Even if it could be shown that the conscious “you” follows the transfer of your carbon-based body to silicon, this is still not living forever.
For instance, if man doesn’t explore off this rock, in a few billion years, the earth will be destroyed, along with the silicon “you”. If man does, then the silicon “you” will then face the experience the “heat death” of the universe where no useable energy can be extracted, or the collapse of the universe back on itself, destroying everything.
So all these folks are promising is extending life a few orders of magnitude, but eventually, death will occur.
