Are humans not machines?

[sarchertech]

That’s something that more than half of humans would disagree with (exact numbers vary but most polls show that more than 75% of people globally believe that humans have a soul or spirit).

But ignoring that, if humans are machines, they are sufficiently advanced machines that we have only a very modest understanding of and no way to replicate. Our understanding of ourselves is so limited that we might as well be magic.

Well, ignoring the whole literal replication thing humans do.

So good we're magic. So bad we think we're magic.

Obviously not? Like how is that a serious question...
