re: Anthropologists, at what point do you believe we became sentient?

Sure, I get that. I’m mostly in agreement, which is why I tend to believe in some form of intelligent creation. I don’t know how to label that, whether it’s God, gods, a “divine” computer computer programmer, or just any form of intelligent being, but I have no problem with intelligent design. I also, have no problem with random design and I wouldn’t declare with authority that either side is right or wrong. They all seem equally probable and equally improbable from my limited point of view. My brain is too small and my logic is too falable to fully comprehend anything to a point of absolute assurance.
Christian Apologetics. If this course doesn't address your every question, I'd be shocked.

hint: A Theory can never become a Law. But it can still be an absolute fact.
Ever wondered why that's the case?

Can we take this thread to another level and discuss AI becoming sentient?

Theories describe laws
This is basic stuff

Then use words that mean what you want to say.
quote:The only thing that I've really attempted to prove is that materialism doesn't provide real answers in matters of conscience. If one wants to appeal to what determines "right from wrong" one must accept that there are universal standards of morality.
Says the guy who thinks the existence of god is proven? Not only that, but your "proof" of this is due to a lack of proof of something else. "This is not proven, therefore my alternative idea is proven". Absurd.
All of these things point to overwhelming evidence in favor of God. I can't make you believe.

I know why it is the case. You do not.
You need to open up a science book.

How would opening a science book benefit the following:
1)The way I interact with people
2)The way I raise kids. I can actually teach mine about a basis for morality.
3)The way I teach my students
4)The peace I have no matter the circumstances
5)The joy of knowing that an eternal significance awaits
6) That the creator of the universe is personal

Yeah. Our laws are not constant. They evolve.

I applaud you gentlemen for having a civil discussion today.
You didn't even call me names or make fun of me too much for believing what the vast number of people have believed everywhere for many centuries.
I pray that you will continue thinking through some of these issues, and that you will become restless living a life that you know has no meaning or purpose.
And I pray that your restlessness will lead you to continue searching for the God whose existence you already acknowledge in your daily actions.

I mean I guess it wouldn't and I'm not sure why anyone would care except yourself.

You should really think a bit longer before insulting folks.

Which is another way to say, it would be best if you at least considered what I've said today.
