The only way to possess an immortal soul is to have been given it by an immortal Creator. Man cannot Create, he can only assemble bits and pieces of what already exists. Toasters cannot have souls. Artificial intelligence is nothing more than artificial intelligence. The reason people like to think maybe man could invent a machine with a soul is because man knows he has a soul, that his soul is guilty of sin, that unless God saves his soul he will spend eternity in Hell, but it would be so great if he could engineer himself a better soul and not have to go begging to that Jesus Christ guy for salvation of his soul. Anything but that! Ill worship a toaster before I believe the Bible!
