If so, wont the robot have its own motives/feelings/sins?. It also creates a problem( how would you feel that you are being "created"?). Some of us as human beings believe that we have souls and will move on in the afterlife. What about robots then? Wouldnt they fear of being "annihilated" and lose their life and simply cease to exist? Wouldnt then they try to annihilate the human race first?

makes me wonder if true consciousness can be created. Im not saying its impossible, as i believe technology is omnipotent. BUT, humankind has to careful and consider the above points that i have made...

In the early daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and ferrotypes (daguerreotypes only had a few seconds of exposure, so they probably weren't frowning because of the long exposure time), in the portraits everyone is always stern-looking, not frowning but certainly not happy-looking. These days it's nearly the polar opposite: even if someone is having a terrible day, they'll unusually still smile in a picture. So, when did people start habitually smiling in photographs, and do you have any clue why?

P.S. I originally posted this in the Society and Culture section, but all I got was a dumb girl telling me it was exposure time. I already said that after the camera was set up, exposure was only a few seconds. Besides, these days professional portraits take a long time, but people still smile. So don't anyone tell me no one smiled in old photos simply because the exposure times were long.

Energy can niether be created nor destroyed. A principle of physics if that is true then there has to be a God, because where did that energy come from? Ok now look at the odds of our exsistance, our position in the universe, space, and timing.
The odds are .000000000000000000000000 x.000000000nth to infinity to 1 that we even exsit at all. So something must have created us. Then how can I prove God spoke us into exsistance with words. Well what are we made of? Organs, cells, organelles, chromosomes, atoms break that down and you have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Now break that down you have energy break energy down you just have a wavelength of energy now what is sound a wavelength of energy. In the Bible God said Let there be Light and there was Light. God spoke words and made it happen and we are living proof of that. So everything we think in this life why not rethink the truth that was written several thousand years ago in the Bible? Can you prove it wrong?

When women sign their name with two last names hypened....what exactly does that mean? Does that mean they are married and have kept their maiden name as well as added their married name on, or they are engaged and just putting both last names to get everything straight?

Example: Amy Smith-Bly

Thanks!

I want to find a site similar to Photobucket that will allow nudity and what they and most other consider pornographic content for my personal use and that will allow me a "somewhat" private way of storing my own personal pictures. I say 'somewhat' because at Photobucket I stored some pics of myself and even though my account was set as private, they deleted all of my pictures.
