I used to be really paranoid about socks but now I think it's probably a rare event.

I didn't say he wasn't a sock, I have my suspicions about that, I'm just saying he's not JBK's sock by all appearances.

Two very different people.

Sorry. Just saying that I don't leap to any conclusions about socks any more... though you know I used to. Just because from this side of the fence it's easy to jump to those sorts of conclusions but out here we're kind of flying blind... you've got much more information on your side to work that sort of thing out... so I leave it to you and don't even think about it any more. That's all I was saying.

But nonetheless I'd still wager that chatbot is not JBK.

No, but Cleverbot claims to be:

All I know is that if we science the shit out of religion, there'll be nothing left.

are you suggesting something is left?

Last I checked: Science came from my balls. My turtle balls. I have proof but I can't be bothered providing any.

If it's thought that the first humans didn't cause their own brains to exist, then it may be thought that they didn't cause their own consciousness. From that it may be thought that they didn't give themselves the ability to do science and the ability to do science was from somewhere else not originally from humans. So it may be thought that, that cause deserves the praise for science and humans don't.
