Religion? Grow up! I hate to break it to you, but your mind is nothing more than the working of your brain. Your brain is a physical object. Like all physical objects, it obeys the laws of physics. Its working can be understood. (The fact that our understanding of these laws is today insufficient is beside the point.) If you think technology, which is accelerating its level of complexity and power while the brain stands nearly still, will not reach and then surpass human intelligence as embodied in that hunk of gray stuff (excepting some civilization ending catastrophe that stops technology's advance) then that just means you don't understand information technology. I can picture the look of shock and dismay on your face as your future robot superiors laugh at you for your naive self regard.
Why is that people cling to religion, even when they know better? Just can't kick it, can you? Back to the needle...
