In other words, since you don't have faith in God, you must have faith in technology even though there is no evidence that technology can bring forth creative, living intelligence.
- ThomPete 10y agoI don't have faith in technology. Technology exist I can see it, I can test it it's not metaphysical any more than the emerging complexity of biological life lead to us. A very very different thing.
- cicero 10y agoI'm not talking about faith in the existence of technology, but in the capability of technology to produce life. By ruling out the existence of God, the only logical explanation for life is that it's the result of physical processes, meaning the chances of creating artificial life are high. If God does exist and is the cause of life, the chances of creating artificial life are low. Eliminating the God hypothesis is what leads to an optimistic expectation of artificial life. Since there is no proof against the existence of God, technological optimism for the creation of life is an act of faith.
