Yes it does it differently then a human eye and brain but the result is still the same, information taken in and stored however the information that is stored on the computer doesn't change over time and can be accessed down to the binary level for recall and detail.
yes, that works on the level you are explaining it at, but not when it comes down to the actual neurological representation of information.like all good analogies, there is a point where the computer metaphor breaks down. The retina in the eye, literally, is processing visual information, at a cellular level, in the exact same way that the visual cortex is. The plasticity of neural connections also is not accounted for, a computer does not rearrange its connections based on incoming stimuli.
I don't deny, a powerful computer could run software that simulates the billions of neurons in a brain (to some degree, though as I pointed out above, there is reason to think this is going to be very difficult), but that computer is really nothing like a brain as far as the processing of information is concerned.
I tend not to speculate on this kind of stuff...
If the history of the future has told us anything, we probably don't get the most obvious things (cure for cancer, flying cars, robot butlers)

I can't disagree with that, I think I might be being a little too specific.
doods, they've been predicting who the antichrist "is supposed to be" since the whole "jesus ressurection" thing.
the catholic church had the man who came up with the number zero executed be because zero meant nothing and that means it was an evil number because if nothing is nothing, than god cannot be there, and so the number zero is evil and so it the person who created it.
and the whole Galileo thing, where it was all "no we all revolve around the sun i tell you!" he was thought to be the antichrist because he went against the Church's opinion.
There's a new "Antichrist" theory about every three seconds.
It's just not worth the brain power...

jesus, where the **** have they been
It scares me that there are people who think the line between church and state in America hasn't been crossed enough since the 80s.

The "heaven is getting too many prayers and outsourcing to India" should have been the obvious tipping point. The comments on YouTube are pretty funny in light of that, especially all the ones about how Christians really think this way or that the makers needed to make the parody easier to notice.

lol, no, I didn't make it that far
I just got to what I posted about and was like "idiot Christians with a martyr complex, aside from the obvious one 😉"
