Quote:Now after making these observations, why should I make a special case for the system which produced me and believe that somehow it is different and special and did not require either an intellect to design it or to be a component of it?You've made no such observations. A claim is what you've made, not an observation. I don't think that it's actually that easy to mix those two up...pretty sure you have to want it bad.
