A strange statement coming from someone who believes themselves to be
literal existential garbage. Who is anyone to disagree with you?

The below is an excellent lecture by neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris,
one of the main leaders of the New Atheist movement, at a June 2016
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference.

* "Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris",
*TED* (*TEDtalksDirector*), Oct. 19, 2016,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nt3edWLgIg . Mirror:

.

As Dr. Harris points out, unless there is something literally magic
about the operations of the brain, then it is a purely physical
process that can be replicated via advanced-enough technology. Harris
further points out that given any rate of progress, it is inevitable
that superintelligent godlike machines will one day be constructed. So
Harris believes in the existence of gods, it's just that he knows--as
do I--that they exist in the future; and the not-so-distant future, at
that. Therefore we come to the ironic insight that materialistic
atheism, consistently applied, unavoidably results in theism.
Consistent scientific atheism turns out to be theism.
