A happy and relaxing weekend for you too!
Did you miss the fact that I was in the IF clause that contained a super-intelligence generating our intelligence?
This IF clause automatically assumed that this primordial soup was not the cause for intelligence, doesn't it?
But, in the primordial soup scenario, intelligence would be a product of evolution. It is possible to find degrees of intelligence in other animals, from dolphins to dogs, to crows, to cats... We humans just happen to be seemingly the top intelligent beings on this planet.
Yes, I get it... according to the belief, human intelligence can't be self-sufficient.
My question was, how is human intelligence not self-sufficient?
If you can insist necessity in my beliefs, then why can't I insist the same necessity in your beliefs? I assumed the same thing. There would be a necessary regress of greater intelligence. If you insist that is true based on your observations, then why wouldn't it be true as well for the "primordial soup?"
Huh?!
No...look...
You claimed that our intelligence requires some super intelligence to create it, right? Or did I understand it wrongly?
If that is right, then one can say that Intelligence with capacity X (human) requires an Intelligence with capacity Y (with Y greater than X) to be created.
But can the same not be said of Intelligence with capacity Y? That it requires an intelligence of capacity Z (with Z greater than Y) for it to be created?
And another of capacity W (W > Z) for the previous to be created?
And so on and so on, and so on...
Did I misunderstand your point of view?
