Here's my idea. If having a soul is what makes us human (which may not be true but I accept it as truth just for the sake of this idea). Then there must be something special about our bodies that makes them usable as interfaces to a soul. Or we'd have plants and animals that are thinking, dreaming, and creating.
I'm guessing that our brain is the interface with the soul. Maybe its the amount of brain power we possess that allows it to connect to the soul. Now this brings up an interesting idea, could we create a machine that was powerful enough that a soul could incarnate into it?
Thats really where I'm headed with this idea, If (and again i'm skipping over the if to discuss things past the if) AI would be impossible because thinking and creating require a soul then could we connect a machine to a soul?
I see some practical problems with that as a soul may not want to connect to our machine and just because we can create a machine as powerful as a brain doesn't mean we have the scientific ability to go out and force a soul into it.
So, I'm looking for a little feedback on this idea. Whaddya think?
