I'm going to tell you more than you want to know about my thinking and speculation. I offer it and don't insist on it. The universe has always existed. In that regard there is an eternal aspect to nature. The fact that we have evolved is part of what the universe is and has always been. Our physical equipment is built from our DNA and we as humans have brains that have wired into them the essentials of metabolism and instinct. These features are natural and have been repeated in living creature across the infinite universe for time in perpetuity. But beyond that the storage capability, impressing of memory, managing of stored memory, and continually adding storage space that is integrated with existing memory in our brains is untapped at birth but the capability for all of that is already there as a result of our DNA. If we could duplicate those capabilities in a machine then everything you say is true. But you are suggesting that we humans can take a different route than nature takes to accomplish the construction and programming of such a machine. There is no reason to believe that such a man made machine could match the capabilities of the human brain at birth.So you thank free-will is the mind overridin natural law.!!!
I dont know of any evidence that the mind can override natural law... thout is a psychical thang an can be duplicated... a suffecienty complex robot coud make "ethical" decisions indistinguishable from a human.!!!
I'm not sure I haven't but Clueluss, maybe we are clueless.Have you ever made a un-influenced (free-will) decision that you know of.???
