is humankind an organic state machine with a high complexity level just like other alive things in the nature?

Question

you have your 5 senses to get external inputs(everything from outer world,things you see,hear,feel etc),
your inner state(state of both your conscious and subconscious) is your internal input,
so your next move or decision is determined after your brain processes all the inputs together,also as an output, your inner state is changed,so your new inner state is always a result of your previous inner state.
however in a moment,you wont be able know your second or third or forth moves,because you cant guess the next external inputs,you only know the current one,they are dependent to lots of things,so you cant guess your future.in addition to this,every moment,external inputs are various enough and different for everybody.so everybody acts different.

so tell me why doesnt this make sense to you?why do you believe that humankind has to be supernatural?how do you think we live?

if this makes sense,whats the point to test humankind(i mean religions),do we really have freewill?

Metacoma,ive already included your experiences affecting your behaviours,its included in your subconscious..

Loss Leader,you dont need a random number generator burried deep in the human brain because the external variables are various and random enough so they are never the same for any situation

Answer 1

This is a very cartisian POV. I think that if you limit yourself to any one belief, then you really limit your mind and the possibilities for expansion. It is hard, from the scientific POV, to view the un-viewable. However, that is where philosophy comes into play. We are thinkers and we can imagine images that we have never seen before. How is that possible with the 5 organic senses. We are able to create melodies. These are things that I dont see other animals doing too often. We also have experiences throughout our lives that are unexplainable, as of now, through science. With all of these things in effect, I can't simply believe that we are machines without souls, just because scientists are not able to measure the soul. You know there is something in you that is aiding you in decision making. Do you have a name for it? Do you recognize it?

Answer 2

So, any human who has exactly my brain in exactly my place and receiving exactly the same external and internal inputs as me would make exactly the same choices as I would? Like two Enigma machines set with the same plugs in the back and given the same sequence of typed letters?

I don't believe it. Complexity theory states that my next move cannot exactly be known even if the general shape of my moves can be (or the general pattern of millions of me). There is a random number generator burried deep in the human brain and it will randomize your outputs even if all inputs are the same.

Answer 3

The first line of your question is easy for me to answer.
The difference between humans and other living things is our soul. Humans are born with a soul and therefore know right from wrong, and that they are to know, love and serve God.
I don't understand your point about the five senses; everyone is not born with five senses. Some are born blind, some are deaf but that doesn't make them less of a person. Our state of inner being is based on our environment.
Yes, we do have freewill. I can choose to answer this question even if I don't completely understand it. No, one forces me to do anything, I make all my choices.

Answer 4

Yeah, at the atomic level this is just my collection of atoms conversing with yours. They follow the rules of physics so we must be just carrying out the physical processes on a very large scale.

Answer 5

No such thing (humankind)--you're human or you're not.
