Terrible news for the Creation Science museum (and Republicans)

Umm..yes, it’s the same process in the sense it’s simply matter obeying natural [physical] laws. It’s only a matter of different laws and a matter of scale.

But I’ll be generous and call it a nice try.

In the broader picture, yes. You and I are like the Sun. Happy now?

What does it require?

All religions are based on some initial circular argument, and has arguments extending from that. The circular argument in and of itself is not a fallacy. Trying to prove one True or False is the Circular argument fallacy. The other word for the circular argument is 'faith'.

Example: The initial circular argument of Christianity is that Christ exists, and He is who He says He is, namely the Son of God.
ALL other arguments supporting Christianity stem from that initial argument.

The initial circular argument from the Church of No God is that no god or gods exist. ALL other arguments stem from that initial argument.

The initial circular argument from the Church of Global Warming is that the Earth is somehow warming. ALL other arguments stem from that initial argument.

Not that such arguments need not have certain things defined:
Christianity does not need to define the character or physical nature of Christ or God.
The Church of No God does not have to specify any particular god or gods.
The Church of Global Warming does not have to specify how the temperature of the Earth is measured, nor the starting and end points declared to be 'warming'.

Every religion, which is based on a circular argument, contains those that try to prove that argument True or False; the circular argument fallacy. This is what a fundamentalist does. It is what makes a fundamentalist a fundamentalist.

Some religions are mostly fundamentalist in nature...that is, the bulk of it's believers are fundamentalists. Examples of these are the Church of Global Warming, the Church of the Big Bang, the Church of Evolution, the Church of Creation, the Church of Abiogenesis, and so on.


So the best way to describe a religion is about the circular argument, and the nature of faith.

Of course, they don't the innumerable times this thing has fallen over, damaging it. :D

Boston Dynamics (and other people) are getting much better are dealing the the balance issues of a walking robot. Others take a different view, emulating four or even eight legged creatures and taking advantage of their simpler gait and balance requirements. Some even emulate a snake, and can even climb a tree like a snake does.

Define "intelligence".
Click to expand...

One way to define 'intelligence' is simply the ability of something to act for itself, independently, to analyze sensors, and to form a decision based on information from those sensors. It also has the ability to adapt to changing conditions.

In this way, artificial intelligence takes on a form of 'intelligence'. A self driving car is a good example.

The 'intelligence' I am referring to here, however, is one that is capable of transporting life around the universe.
For this theory, that 'intelligence' can take the form an an alien or a god or gods. Nothing about the Theory of Creation requires a god or gods. Just an intelligence.

I see no reason why that 'intelligence' couldn't be an 'artificial' one. Remember, an artificial intelligence requires, in turn, an actual being to create it.
