| Many creationists believe that mankind will never | | | | computer with all the human knowledge and tied |
| create artificial intelligence that will be smarter | | | | to other AI computers and they will ask a |

| god-character in their stories. This simply isn't so, | | | | thing will spit out the solution. It will be creative, |
| in fact, the humans who wrote the bible didn't | | | | problem solving and so far superior to you |
| have the intellectual capacity to consider just how | | | | humans it won't even be a contest. It would be |
| powerful a mind could ever be. They claimed their | | | | rather pathetic at that point to even discuss such |
| god to be all-knowing and presented examples of | | | | human arrogance, claiming to be wiser than such |

| planets, time, etc. Wow, impressive you'd say | | | | Of course, our creationist friend can once again |

| Yes, but mankind will be able to do all this in the | | | | the AI computer in the first place, so it's hard to |

| more, someday we should be able to print out life | | | | create such a machine in the first place, thus, |
| on a 3D printer. Bet me. Anyway, not long ago a | | | | maybe humans are not so smart after all, or so |
| creationist acquaintance said to me that even if | | | | goes the "machines will take-over one day," |
| humankind does create an artificial intelligent | | | | theory. |
