Hey, I said maybe. If an algorithm can figure out how to win in checkers maybe even someone who has been wired to see and promote god will learn.
That algorithm was programmed by Intelligent Designers called scientists, correct?
Are you trying to argue that the scientists designed the checkers playing neural nets, because that's clearly wrong. The neural nets themselves evolved by a dumb, unintelligent process. End of story. You're not even arguing against the substance of the matter. The computers the algorithm ran on were designed by humans, does that mean the neural nets were? No, it does not. There is a big difference between being a proximal cause of the neural nets' behavior and being a tertiary, incidental cause. Can you distinguish between near and far? The scientists did not design the behavior of the neural nets.
