I'm not speaking of doing so in any sense as an act of rebellion... Babel, along with all immoral human government, is rebellious in nature. It is an attempt to elevate oneself to the status of godhood.
I'm speaking of creating a mind as an act of worship. In the same way a child imitates his parent, seeking to imitate God's creative nature. When they try and fail, do we chastise our children for attempting to imitate our work?
Ahh, sorry about that, haha.
That is an interesting thought. I could see it developing. I wonder what kind of robot rules we would create.
