    And if you think, as you indicated earlier, that a belief in god is a perfectly natural response to seeking patterns of order in a chaotic universe, it isn't unreasonable that the process of consciousness reflecting upon itself (meta-consciousness) would be part of that belief, based in the feeling of detachment from the material body that such reflection can cause. I suspect that this sense of detachment may have been the 'spirituality' that Monty was alluding to in his clumsily-constructed post.
    I would side with your chum who believes we can manufacture something with a consciousness. And, of course, once something can be manufactured, it has no more mystery than a tennis ball, a nail or a Boeing 747.
