I fail to see what bearing paragraphs 3-6 have on the possibility or probability of AGI. AGI beliefs don't compare to religious beliefs just because you say so. You simply don't have the same knowledge background as people who think AGI is realistic or even likely. Maybe you have more or better knowledge, or maybe they do... but just saying they're wrong is pointless. The boundary for systems-level consideration of intelligence is often placed around the brain because that's most convenient, not because nothing interesting happens at larger (sociology, ecology) or smaller (Drosophila, Portia) scales.

> You simply don't have the same knowledge background as people who think AGI is realistic or even likely. That's ad hominem. But if you need to know my credentials to be able to take me seriously, I have a computer science degree and studied Cognitive Science at one of the top cogsci PhD programs in the U.S. (didn't finish). I have been a professional programmer for 20 years, in between school. My point is that, like God, unless you can explain how it might work, you don't have a scientifically workable theoretical model.
