From a discussion on artificial intelligence, an interesting quote from Simon Ings, a science fiction writer,
With this vision in mind, Alan Turing suggests more caution and reverence in attempts to creation of intelligence,"When our machines overtook us, too complex and efficient for us to
control, they did it so fast and so smoothly and so usefully, only a fool or a
prophet would have dared complain."
"In attempting to construct such machines we should not be irreverently usurping His power of creating souls, any more than we are in the procreation of children, rather we are, in either case, instruments of His will providing mansions for the souls that He creates"
