Creativity Machines... A critical blow to the belief in the soul?

Found this on the myspace groups and I thought I'd share it with you guys and get your opinions. Have we achieved the age of sentient machines? I didn't think so 'till I saw this.

i would just like to say that this is nearly exactly my view, and, in fact, an amazingly 'practical' demonstration of it.
not one im personally a large fan of, and so something i will not likely participate in. but. if you didnt see it coming, well, i guess you werent watching.
at any rate, this is amazing.

Be cool if RRS could get this guy on and chat to him about how AI will affect religion.

I remember "debating" someone in high school as to whether computers could ever "think." His only response was "No, because computers can't think." Guess that was a preparation for the logical fallacies encoutered when debating theists.
