Re:Computers are computers (Score 1)

I'm tired of debating about whether this soul (which there is absolutely NO evidence for) exists and if it's necessary. I just want to find out by experimentation. if there is no evidence for a soul then how do you account for the presence of human reason? elephants have bigger brains than we do (I think) other animals have comparable brains to human beings yet we are the only animal that possesses reason. ( with the possible exception of chimpanzees and dolphins, i dont think they do but it is possible) thus one cant explain human intelligence with the purely physical, thus it follows that human reason must come from the metaphysical.therefore a gigantic neural net will not answer any of these questions, nor will any other physical experiment. therefore we cannot create a computer that possesses reason in the human fashion. as computers are physical objects.
