My theology is rather simple and basic:

God is life, and life is God.

It is impossible to have one without the other.

Yes, atheist have abused the theory of evolution for their own political reasons. I have no argument with that statement.

Alamo-Girl, as a fellow software engineer, you and I both know that debating a subject will not provide results.

Theories, and how they can be implemented, is how we invent new products. If a theory is false, then it will be rapidly replaced with something that does fit the facts.

I do enjoy these debates, as it helps me to understand the average scientific knowledge of fellow Freepers.

Waaayyyyy off-topic, on something I haven't paid attention to for quite some time.

What is the current thinking on the feasibility of creating true artificial intelligence?

Thank you so very much for your reply and your beautiful statement of faith:

God is life, and life is God. It is impossible to have one without the other.

I also agree with you that debate does not produce results but is informative (especially to those lurking).

Strangely, Doctor Stochastic and I were recently discussing this very issue which he calls "save the phenomenon". Naturally, I strongly agree that is good science but am troubled that some scientists may be more concerned with "saving the theory".

He assures me that such scientists are only being cautious, but I am concerned that it results in American scientists moving in baby-steps letting the Chinese, Japanese, Indians and Europeans get too far ahead.
