2 years later they simulate a cortex more powerful than a cats with
1.6 Billion neurons & 9 trillion synaptic pathways.
That's a 2909.09091% increase. If we plot the same again, we have 1
600 000 000 * (2 909.09091%) = 46 545 454 560 neurons, (Half a human
brain) 4 years away.
Same again and we have 1.35404959 × 10^12 neurons or a computer
13.5404959 times more powerful than a human brain by the year 2013.

Science cannot duplicate the complexity of an insect how could it ever
duplicate the workings of the brain?
My question is why do you deny one exists?
If you know it is possible to have an infinitely more intelligible
machine than you?
And my second question is where are the alien counterparts?
Apparently this is a virtual simulation of *every* synaptic pathway.
So it literally will be a ground-up model of human brain.
The neurons are already firing in the predicted network patters, of
the cortex's they have modelled so far.
There are a few videos on TED.
The reason it will be easier than expected, is because the groundwork
is already discovered for each pathway.
And the algorithms that simulate each type of neuron have already been
discovered.
Now it's just a matter of computing, which in reality is only
constrained by the size of the room you can fit as many processors in
as possible,
with the size of a processor of current technology.
I think the current one is using as much wattage as your house does in
a year.
Instead of the 20 or so your brain uses.
So even though the virtual brain may be more powerful, it won't be
more efficient.

probably avoiding official open contact (spacecraft on the White House

See above. Besides, "they" may not be anywhere near the our solar

Madman (aka Mudbrain) is on record as claiming:-

That the actor Paul Newman was a creationist...
That "Dr." Kent Hovind has made lots of *scientific* discoveries...
That wars have been fought because some scientific finding discredited
some facet of some religion...
To have a "higher education" than most posters to this news group...
To understand how geologists determine the age of any given sample of
rock...
That trilobites were Cambrian mammals... [that one still makes me
laugh]
And that he has "created genes" and not evolved ape genes...
That linguists have traced all the world's languages to the Middle
East region and back to around the same time as the bible claims Noah
and his sons rebuilt mankind.
Claimed that talk.origin's moderator was a troll.
Claimed cigarettes do not cause cancer.

Actually, I think it would be more accurate to say that under
creationism the average life expectancy was 40 years while the average
life expectancy under science is nearly twice as long. I do not think
that the maximum human lifespan has increased dramatically since
Biblical times, only now many more people reach it (at least in
developed countries).

Only a few years ago we knew from census figures that the death rate
in childbirth was about 50% and that the death rate between birth and
5 years was about 50%. The mean age at death was 40 yrs and in some
populations 35yrs. Even today in Australia the aboriginal population
die on average 17 years before non Aboriginals - mostly due to lack of
health care (you know science stuff) Perhaps you would like to point
us to the biblical analysis - you know n=??, mean figures averages,
meta analysis??? rather than picking one number and using it as the
norm?

It is not the fault of scientists that politicians or religious
leaders sometimes start wars.
As for toxic waste, it is science that has provided the information
for us to understand the consequences of pollution and resource
depletion for several generations. Cultures have in the past died
because they overextended themselves or used resources in a non-
sustainable manner (e.g. Easter Islanders, the Anasasi). Scientists
warn about these but people like you prefer to believe things which
give them warm fuzzy feelings rather than listen to uncomfortable
warnings from elitist eggheads.
And of course the medical culture makes mistakes, but it saves far
more lives than it takes by accident.
The success of humanity is a result of our developing technology. The
dangers of that same technology, the unintended and unexpected
consequences, are being ignored by those who prefer ignorance.

I don't worship science. I haven't seen any poster here who does. How
would that work? I fail to see how Evangelical Christians, Hindus,
Buddhists, Jews, and atheists can all do the same science if it's a
religion or object of worship. If you inflate the term "religion"
enough to include everything that somebody somewhere values, then you
reduce your own religious fervor to the level of a football fan. Are
you sure you want to go there?

*If* that was on "evolutionary" grounds, it was *micro*evolution,
evolution within a "kind", "mankind". (Most definitely it was *not*
anything about macroevolutionary events like the origins of the

And if that was on evolutionary grounds, it was not about evolution
by "random variations" or "*natural* selection". If it was about

really? hmmm...so you think creationists 1000 years ago weren't

hell i can read about 'em in the NT.
oh. i forgot you never read the bible.
yep you guys were explaining nature by demons. why not read carolly

OK here you go:

Here's a good start
http://family.jrank.org/pages/2797/infant-mortality.html
> "From Cerebral Venous Thrombosis, because *scientists* told women to
> lie down for a week."
Mostly from infection called puerperal fever - some wise person above
mentioned Semmelweiss - a very observant scientist who was ridiculed
for his views but in which evidence eventually proved his theory
correct.
Cerebral Venous thrombosis is a far rarer complication - and guess
what as empiric knowledge advances we change our thinking - its what
science is about.
" Well it would be, if someone is killing 50% of all the kids."
As above it was ignorance that allowed caused the death rates to be so
high.
"Or is it the genetic defects associated with being black?"
Leaving aside the racial slurs a report published in Australia this
year clearly points out that it is the fact Aboriginals do not receive
adequate health care for the hypertension diabetes and infections they
suffer from that contributes directly to the younger age at death.
The argument was about modern health care increasing life span and the
above is a good example - whether the disease is genetic or not its
the lack of treatment - and all the above diseases are successfully
treatable.
"> And so what you are in fact saying, is that the average of 40 years
> was brought so *low* as a result of such a mortality rate amongst
> *CHILDREN* and *MOTHERS*??
>
> Not very bright are you?"
As a background to the argument it is compelling evidence of the state
of health care in previous generations. You obviously missed the point
-
" Julius Caesar Age 56, Cause of Death = Assasination.
> Mark Antony Age 53, Cause of Death = execution
> Ptolemy I Soter Age 84, Cause of death = Natural Causes.
> Ptolemy II Philadelphus Age 63, Cause of Death = ??"
Hmm we now go from n=1 to n=4 very convincing statistics.
Try reading some of the more detailed (although incomplete) health
records from the people who were doing the work at the time.
"> You make it sound like people can't live long without modern
> healthcare. It only *SOUNDS* that way."
No its because the people who were there at the time left us records
that say so.

Water? How is that science's fault? However, chemical spills are not
the fault of science. They are the fault of improperly handled chemicals.
Usually due to carelesness or cheap business owners. Gunpowder came from
the chinese hundreds of years before modern science. The use of guns is
due to the development of weapons for war, which all too often is
inspired by religion. As far as toxic waste and air pollution goes,
science knows how to deal with the waste, it is the business owners,
politicians and often times the general public that refuses to deal
with it properly. Medical mishaps? How many die from medical mishaps
in any one year, and then compare it to the number of people kept alive
due to modern medicine. Drug deaths are not the fault of science, rather
the fault of the people who use and abuse drugs. Drugs that almost were
entirely developed without the use of science. Your list of foolish and
ignorant things to rant about is quite long. Your ability to present a
real argument is very limited.

Well, we do not worship science, we do appreciate and understand it.
You, on the otherhand, are an ignorant fool who apparently blinded

Like most of your figures, their wrong.
I can manipulate any data set you offer up. E.G
*********************************************
Bronze age, Sweden[10] 40-60
Classical Greece[11] 20-30
Classical Rome[12] 20-30
Pre-Columbian North America[13] 25-30
Medieval Islamic Caliphate[14] 35+ The average lifespans of the elite
class were 59–84.3 years in the Middle East[15][16] and 69–75 in
Islamic Spain.[17]
Medieval Britain[18][19] 20-30
Early 20th Century[20][21] 30-45
Current world average[22] 66.57

Funny, we never had that problem.
Numbers 19:11
Leviticus 11:24-25
Must be why Psalm says we live to 80 years old.

We dig holes, not shit wells.
The only modern sacrifice I know of, are animal's sacrificed in labs.
Or the babies sacrificed in clinics.

Life expectancy of a fetus under science 24 weeks.
We don't have that problem either.

really? the current life expectancy in the west is about 80 years.
since when did that become the 20-30 years of creationist britain or

yeah. i guess if you're a creationist, it seems a 40 year life
expectancy is longer than the current 80 years under science
and, unlike creationists, we found out what was killing women
creationists just sacrifice a goat, pray to the deity or ghost of the
say and go on drinking sewage

i was a volunteer guard at an abortion clinic. never saw a single baby
sacrificed
and it's irrelevant anyhow. i DID see prolife terrorists, however.
