Haven't you seen, in science fiction, what happens when intelligent computers and robots operate entirely on evidence and logic?

You're basing this on the false idea that everybody is conservative. They are not. For example, you are entirely welcome in my church and many others. The only requirement for entrance is to walk in the door... and we'll lend a hand with that if you need it. And you can keep coming back without subscribing to any of our beliefs. Try having an open-minded discussion about faith with an extremist atheist.... ;-) Nick -- Nick Arnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages: 408-904-7198 _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
