But I guess what it all boils down to is an unwillingness by most people to see the world as it is, rather than how they want to believe it is. And that, I believe, is the problem of our times.
Indeed also! If one day someone create a computer program with the ability to think by itself, does this program will have the ability to understand that it was created by a human?

This program will "live" in a computer, it only will know bits, 0's and 1's, so it may conclude that if it was created, it was by something known to it, computer programs, bits. This would be the conclusion of a "humble" program.

More "intelligent" programs, however, will be unsatisfied by this notion, so they will deny the possibility of a program computer creating another one. They may believe that the chaothic flow of bits in the memory of the computer some day reunited itself, by pure chance, in a thinking and coherent set of bits, the thinking computer program.

But none of this programs will ever agree with the possibility of existence of things that are out of the realm of bits, which is the very essence of what they are made. They wont understand the possibility of existence of anything which is not made of bits, which doesnt live into a computer. They will never understand a human, made of flash and blood. And never will agree with the possibility that they, and the world where they live (the computer), and everything they know, is a creation of a thing beyond its comprehension.

A link between creationism and evolutionism (VERY LONG) Well... yesterday, after a break of 2 days, i did some hash chocolate, and then had one of more enlightening highs i ever had... now i understand why its said that eating weed produces an more acid-like high... anyway, i found a nice connection between creationism and evolutionism.
