On the contrary, you do believe in spontaneous generation of life. You probably just don't know the definition of spontaneous. spon·ta·ne·ous /sp?n'te?ni?s/ Show Spelled [spon-tey-nee-uhs] Show IPA –adjective 1. coming or resulting from a natural impulse or tendency; without effort or premeditation; natural and unconstrained; unplanned: a spontaneous burst of applause. 2. (of a person) given to acting upon sudden impulses. 3. (of natural phenomena) arising from internal forces or causes; independent of external agencies; self-acting. 4. growing naturally or without cultivation, as plants and fruits; indigenous. 5. produced by natural process. --------------- RE that computer found in the woods, how would it "tell" you it was an artifact of intelligence? I agree that you'd be correct in thinking it was because you'd be able to reason that it, particularly the internal software, isn't something that a natural process would generate.
