You are stuck on 2300 year-old philosophy. I, for one, don't accept Aristotle's definitions as valid or meaningful, so I find your argument tired and tattered.

Everyone looks askance at JHC as he says "I need to refuel" at the drinking fountain.

I'm still waiting for OP to explain to me what a "biorobot" is and how that's different from what he thinks the human body is. I have a feeling this will be quite a wait, won't it?

Come on Tara. You think the OP is here for anything remotely related to honest discussion?

That's funny you say that, because when most theists trot out their arguments from design, they always hype up how amazing and complex the human body is, that it just couldn't come about naturally.

I wish you people would get consistent with your arguments. Rolleyes

Probably not. But their feeble attempts to pwn us entertain me, so I still want to hear what he has to say.
