Quote:Wrong on the computer point. Computers were, of course, created by the human mind, not unintelligent physical laws, but indeed, rocks were. It doesn't matter whatever atheist you present to me who says, "Oh, humans are like computers!" (It may be true to some degree on the ability to compute figures, etc.) I'm sure Pinker was making a point (although in the context you provide, I can't see it unless you give a link), but to compare computer programming with human thought is insufficient, and computers are not at all the result of unintelligent physical laws.
Yeah it's strange isn't it that computers were created by intelligent beings and according to you the human brain was created by pure intelligence and yet the brain far exceeds any technology or human invention ever intelligently designed.
But if the brain was not the act of intelligence what reason do we have for trusting it? And I mean if we don't really have free will and our brains were created by unintelligence and we are not really guided by intelligence we are simply being controlled by deterministic natural laws I just don't see why we should trust anything.
