In the debate between creationism and evolution, the creationists often simply attack evolution on a moral basis. Isn't it better to be created than evolved?
In fact, no. If living beings are nothing but "designed" machines, then they obviously are as WORTHLESS as machines. Since humans are nothing but created robots, we are disposable and replacable. There is nothing unique about a machine, because its creator--human or supernatural--can duplicate it at will. Therefore, machines have no souls, and the whole idea of life being "sacred" has no basis.
Your uniqueness is your soul. Something that can only be created by ACCIDENT, not design. Beauty is a random event, no object can be "made" beautiful. Love cannot be "planned" and still be considered true love. If you are a machine, you may have a program, and a function, but unless there was an element of randomness involved in your creation, you can not have a soul.
I would much rather be an evolved ape than a designed robot.
