As to the beginning &amp; the first handful of statements made by Lord Martin Rees- Interestingly, I believe that IF it were in fact an undisputable reality, that life itself were exclusive to our small blue rock &amp; our place in the cosmos &amp; amongst the stars, we humans would be pressed to induce life within any conceivable fashion. The evidence which adheres to such logic exists in the modern day... Furthermore, I may suggest to say, or to perhaps 'invoke the theory' that the human brain is much less reminiscent to that of a computer but rather (in relative terms) but one of two 'components' which have yet to establish a viable or, let us say an "intimate"/harmonious, nature of compatibility.., so to speak. Meaning to say that just maybe this AI is very much a (relative) contruct of the evolution of the human race(?)
