Friends say that the previous version was just the same BioLogos cat food.
Local cats won’t eat it.
However, says one friend, they may be taking it in a new direction.
Upcoming “Turing Essays” are going to be written by Jack Copeland. He thinks the mind is beyond computation, but is still a machine.
Well, that, at least, should be interesting, even if the rest of it is ridiculous. Here.
Of a serendipitous note. Fazale Rana just posted this on FB:
A few notes Godel’s incompleteness:
And Alan Turing’s part here:
What is very ironic in materialists trying to use logic to try to prove that the mind of man is not transcendent, but is merely a ‘by-product’ of the brain, a ‘machine’, is that logic itself is transcendent of any material basis and cannot be reduced to a material basis in the first place.
notes:
Further note: In fact logic, though not reducible to a material basis, can be argued, very compellingly, to govern the material realm:
At the 4:00 minute mark of the preceding audio, Dr. Sewell comments on the ‘transcendent’ and ‘constant’ Schroedinger’s Equation;
i.e. the Materialist is at a complete loss to explain why this should be so, whereas the Christian Theist presupposes such ‘transcendent’ control of our temporal, material, reality,,,
of note; ‘the Word’ is translated from the Greek word ‘Logos’. Logos happens to be the word from which we derive our modern word ‘Logic’.

And a third benefit is that DNA computing operates near the theoretical capacity with regard to energy efficiency.
… just random chance ‘n’ stuff.
I really, I mean, genuinely, think that the addendum, “‘n’ stuff'” needs to be added to “pronunciamentos” by atheists, reflecting the “preferential option” for ignoring atheistically inconvenient logic.
After all, attribution of the wanton nescience of so many atheist “scientismificists”, as often adverted to on here ( ..a universe created by laws! abstract human constructs) would almost, but not quite, represent an insult even to disaffected teenagers, never mind young children, who are probably the truest, most disinterested intellectuals, in the sense of disinterested “pursuers of truth”.
“Billy Bean….”
Don’t get me started…
Axel – Only you and I remember Billy Bean and his funny machine. And a woman in Essex I know! Fot those thoroughly mystified, try this primer.
