How do any of those break any limits of science? Please, I'd love to know. Maybe you think I'm talking about Matrix-style robots and have decided that I'm just being silly. I'm not. A simple bot that has the capability of manufacturing more of itself won't be that hard, consider that most modern factories are highly automated.

Oh, as for your soul principle, do you have any concrete evidence, any proof?

Are you actually saying that science has limits because it doesn't conform to your belief system?

So, you say that it would (in theory) be possible, that the human brain could create something more intelligent than itself?

Come on, that's ridiculous.

(Like the evolution theory, which is completely ridiculous, as it says that a less intelligent being can "auto-evovle" into something more intelligent...)

At this point, any discussion is pointless, as we already completely substitute reality with fiction.

Since you:

hardly seem to read my comments

completely misinterpret what you do read

respond by calling everything fiction or ridiculous

and throw around equally baseless claims of your own.

Yes, this is discussion is over.

What a happy end, we finally agree.
