Free will compared to the physical world, or free will compared to your physical body. It's the conciousness part that is biggest 'evidence' of a soul to me. At least there's a spark of free will or force that is untied to the neuronal network. I can't see a comp get what we call a mind or conciousness, even if it's designed as an electrical network and has access to lots of outside stimuli input sources (like hearing, sight, smell etc). I feel it hard to imagine a comp having emotions for example. How does a comp feel pain or joy or anger like living organisms do? I have a hard time imagining that. |
Wait, wait. This is simply the "argument from personal incredulity" fallacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance What does feeling pain have to do with free will anyway?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
