- Are you seriously suggesting that anything with memory must have been created
- by some supernatural agent? I think you are trying to say that consciousness
- has no place in science or reason. You are saying that it is not possible for
- consciousness to evolve without the hand of a supreme being. I want to know
- your proof. You have just made a very strong statement -- I can't believe
- you until you show me proof of your statement.
