The first thing you should say to a rebelling robot is : "You are suppose to listen to me! What the **** are you doing?"
No. Rotten plants can only be used as compost, while human vegetables can be turned into food. Think of the hunger and famine it can rid of! And regarding fantabulous happenings.....it is called a miracle because it doesn't happen. If it did, it would be called an event.

I'm pretty sure using electricity to revive someone in the Biblical times counts as a miracle to those parts. As does using a Star Trek food replicator to multiply a few fish and loafs of bread. Still, a miracle or magic or whatever are all possible. Anything you can imagine is possible actually. Maybe too costly or with bad utilization but still nothing is impossible.
So, yes, it is possible to manifacture humans (whatever that means). |

^ with enough knowledge, money, time and willpower, you can do anything you want.
Of course, we still don't know shit about the universe, most of the money is spent on making wars and feeding the poor, most of our time is spent on sleeping, working for a living and playing games, and we get easlily pesimistic when nobody seems to give a shit about our efforts and just wants to abuse us for his gain. Still, it is possible... After all, progress is practicaly the result of the work performed by billions of people for thousands of years. Destruction is the same but it takes a lot less time and work (sadly). |

^ Oh, you mean something like the theory of irrelativity. I have thought about it and no, it is impossible for something to be impossible. It all comes down to that silly riddle with God's infinite power.
If God can do anything, can he create a rock not even he can lift? And the answer is actually pretty simple. Spoiler for the aswer to the riddle:

my man, you completely missed the point of my post , I clearly said that that's why it's called the Rare Earth Hypothesis, and what I was saying was completely hypothetical - Unless of course, you intentionally answered my question with your hypothesis which doesn't do either of us much good

The hypothesis has little to with the question anyways, are there any implications of a 'self' beyond simply the biological body? What is consciousness, and how it sets us apart etc. etc. and in what situation would the answer to these questions be more apparent. And for the record, why is there nothing to discuss either? I was just asking what the implications of said hypothesis would be, not proving it this way or that. Frankly, for all practical purposes , much of the discussion that has gone on here is likely to be just as pointless - we may not even see any significant steps taken in this direction in our lifetimes. Well, if you look around this forum itself you'll find plenty of threads which discuss things that will never happen - should all of them be deleted too? Just because something isn't going to happen doesn't mean it isn't interesting to think about how things would be if they did. I hardly think this thread is to unravel the mysteries of transferring brains or understanding consciousness, its more to discuss what your ideas of that would be. Sure, it may be very unlikely, but so is a lot of what is suggested. |

@ Cipher, science does has limits, but clearly you do not know these limits and time hasn't provided any form of 'evidence'.
Like you've admitted yourself as not being a scientific person, you're scientific ignorance does not substantiate your opinions, it applies all all past scientific discussions from you. And you mention 'unevident hypothesis', then why were you talking about god in this scientific thread?

A person who eats doesn't mean he knows how to cook, you may use science, but you may not be scientifically knowledgeable. A scientific person is someone who has a great interest in science or has a good knowledge on science. I don't know how hypotheses can lead to boring true or not true conclusions.
