A program cannot make a physical device. Only a program plus a 3D printer can do that. What I think you mean is something like a virus,bacteria or something that reproduces itself. That is where the information, readout and physical interface are all in the same device. That has yet to be done. There is also the idea of reproducing yourself but on a smaller ...[text shortened]... nches across, the reproduction would be 5 or something, and that one goes on to make a 2.5, etc.
that would allow the reproduction of the machine.

I said a program that would allow a Machine to reproduce itself. I was
not referring to a loop program.
The point is that it would give you something more constructive to do with your time and on top
of that it could make you very wealthy.
And I can think of plenty of things that would give you something more constructive to do with your time. But if you just wanted to tell me to stop wasting my time on this site, why didn't you just come out and say so, instead of suggesting a task that I have no hope of accomplishing? Surely there was more to your post than that?

God created the first animals just like He created the first man. Then
He commanded them to be fruitful and multiply. Very smart of Him.
For then He could rest while the earth was filled.
Rest is a very strange concept for an entity that is "outside time".
"Rest" surely requires the absence of effort over a period of time.
Both "effort" and "time" being meaningless to your god makes rest a doubtful concept to him and certainly unattainable and/or meaningless.
Originally posted by RJHindsAnd how I choose to waste my time is also none of your business. So, I suspect that you had another point to make, realised it was stupid and instead of admitting your error have decided to pretend that the whole point was to tell me to stop wasting my time talking to you.

Originally posted by twhiteheadMr Whitehead,
Well I am yet to see convincing evidence, and apparently God chose to withhold the give from me. So you may try to present convincing evidence, but if you criticize me for lack of faith, then you only have your God to blame.
May I suggest to you the following....
If you only after "seeing" convincing evidence, then you will "believe"
then that is not "faith".
Faith is according to me believing/hoping in something that you cannot "see".

I personally however, do not happen to have 'faith' in God. I feel no motivation to believe in God without evidence. Since RJHinds tells me his faith was a gift from God, I can only assume that God chose not to give me that gift.
Yet strangely enough, Christians tell me, that I will be punished because of my lack of faith, whereas they will get off scot free.

no rest; but we do. So God's rest is an example for man.

to get you to realize your need for the Savior, since you can not save
yourself anymore than you could make that program.

Originally posted by RJHindsOK. And you realised it was a stupid point then tried to avoid admitting it? OK.
Yes, you are correct. You must be taking smart pills. The main point was
to get you to realize your need for the Savior, since you can not save
