Wow. So, is stretching logic beyond its logical limits physical, or non physical?

We know that any thought that originates in the brain is physical in origin. We have brain scans that prove it. We even know which parts of the brains create different kinds of thought. Even emotional reactions, which are not often sourced in the brain, have been shown to be tied to thousands of receptors in the stomach. But Descartes did not have these abilities to test theories, so quoting him is irrelevant.

And we ARE very much like robots. Very sophisticated, super-advanced AI machines, based on biological process rather than mechanical, using food as a source of energy rather than the sun. But we still process information using electrical signals that travel through very complex routing systems, similar to computers. If thoughts were all non-physical, then how can we develop robots that can arrive at many of the same thoughts on their own? God didn't create computer intelligence, man did that.
