Computer misses the spirit dimension of a human
Computer works based on its ability of logical calculations. However our 
human being have other more important abilities in addition to our logical 
reasoning abilities.

We make judgement not just based on the facts or data but also on how we 
feel about it. That feeling portion and the intuition portion does not come 
from logical.

Our conscious can tap into the universal information field (or God) to 
absorb directly about unlimited information. A mechanically built computer 
with no spirit is hard to achieve the human intelligence at this level.
