Q&@
BUT NOT ANYMORE IN 2016/2019? Several corporations,
such as Google & Tesla, are engineering autonomous cars that already cruise our roads!

The algorithms controlling the autonomous car
make millions of calculations each second concerning other cars,
pedestrians, traffic lights & potholes. The autonomous car successfully stops at red lights, bypasses obstacles &
keeps a safe distance from other vehicles - without feeling any fear! The car also needs to take itself into account
and to communicate its plans and desires to the surrounding vehicles, because it decides to swerve to the right,
doing so will impact on their behaviour: a car does all that without any problem -
but without any consciousness either!

The autonomous car isn't special anymore?
Many other computer programs make allowances for their own actions, yet none of them has developed consciousness, & none feels or desires anything! So if we cannot explain the mind, and if we don't know what function it fulfills, why not just discard it?
The history of science is replete with all kinds of replete
with abandoned concepts and theories!?

For instance, early modern scientists who tried to
account for the movement of light postulated the existence of a substance called ether, which supposedly fills the entire universe?
Light was thought to be waves of ether! However, scientists failed to find any empirical evidence for the existence of ether, whereas they did come up with alternative & better theories of light: so consequently, they threw ether into a dustbin together
with all kinds of gods & Satanic Devils, Angels, Popes, Presidents & shit!

Similarly, for thousands of years
humans USED GOD(S) to explain numerous natural phenomena! What causes
lightning to strike? God! Who makes the rain fall? GOD! How did life on earth begin?
God DID ìt!

Over the last centuries
scientists have not discovered any empirical evidence at all
for God's "EXISTENCE", while they did find mùch móre detailed explanations
for lightning strikes, rain & the origins of lifesources?

Consequently, with the exception of a few subfields
of philosophy, no article in any peer-review scientific journal takes "God's existence"
seriously anymore!? Historians don't argue that the Allies won the Second World War because God was
on their side; economists don't blame "G D" for the 1920 economic crisis; and geologists don't invoke
"His Will" to explain Tectonic Plate Movements. God seems to be captured by Mad Mullahs,
Pedofile Priests, Protestant Preachers and all kinds of Rich Rats,
Miserable Mices, Fucking Führers, Grumbling
Generalissimos, Rotten Rebels
& Crazy
Cats?!
