Discussion Overview

The discussion explores the analogy between humans and obsolete technology, questioning whether a divine being perceives humans as outdated designs. Participants examine the implications of this analogy in relation to the nature of existence, design flaws in humans, and the potential for other forms of life or intelligence.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that God views humans similarly to obsolete technology, implying that humans may be replaced by more advanced beings or species.
  • Others argue that humans are poorly designed, citing specific anatomical flaws and questioning the rationale behind human design.
  • There are claims that humans might be an early stage in a design process, with the potential for better versions existing elsewhere.
  • Some participants express the belief that God loves humans and does not view them as mere machines, challenging the analogy of humans as obsolete technology.
  • A few participants raise the idea that understanding a non-human perspective is inherently difficult, suggesting that divine reasoning may be beyond human comprehension.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of views, with no consensus on whether humans are seen as obsolete technology or valued creations. The discussion remains unresolved, with competing perspectives on the nature of human design and divine perception.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference specific anatomical flaws and design issues without reaching a definitive conclusion about what constitutes a "good design." The discussion includes speculative ideas about the existence of better versions of humans or other forms of life.

That does not mean she cares about humans or human affairs. Just like we humans do not show any emotion or feelings for the Apple II since we have developed computers far superior to the Apple II personal computer that run and perform algorithms faster and have better graphics. The apple II made life easier for humans to operate at the time of its introduction to the public because things like spreadsheets were easier to create compared to creating a spreadsheet with pencil and paper.

the evolution of computers is analogous with the evolution of species(or speciation). Just as old computers are thrown aside or kept as a novelty item , so are old species who are replace with new species with higher intelligence. When I say thrown aside, I mean they are no longer the dominate species on the planet who would been able to maximize all of the Earth's natural resources for their own personal benifit. Just like the dinosaurs were replaced by small mammals that were easily able to adapt to the changing environment on earth. With time , a newer species will evolved and we will be dethroned as the dominate species on earth. God is our computer engineer. She sees us as mere machines to be replaced by better performing machines. I do not think she sees us as equals or children.

God probably has more important worlds to look after. Humans are very bad designs. Might have been the alpha stage for a new product.
 
We will never understand the mind of a non-human thinking being as long as we keep assuming it thinks like a human.

Do you think your dog will ever understand why you watch the football game? A TV does not meet any of the three F's* in a dog's reality.

Wonder if dogs worship humans like a god? I mean, bringer of food, shelter and water.

I wish I could visualize that kind of industry.

Can you explain why we are bad designs and what is a good design?

There are monumental errors in the design of the human body - who puts a sewage pipe in a recreational area? Who would risk making humans choke to death every time they eat or drink something? The human eye is upside down and backwards. The lens gets harder to focus as it gets older and the lens clouds. Humans fall over all the time, have a bunch of pointless organs and things that have no function.

Let's face it - we are an experiment gone wrong.
 
We are not machines.God loves us.
Do you like a better performing machine more than human?

If God loves us, then why didn't he give us better functioning survival machines? I'd tell you, it is a sick experiment gone wrong. The stable release version of us probably lives in a parallel Universe or something.

Do you mean angel is the stable release version of us ?
