"What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee?" - What is Born of the Spirit is Spirit

What is Born of the Spirit is Spirit

If a robot has the ability to choose one of two choices, you may not be impressed much, say, in a chess game.  But if a robot shows the ability to choose one from 10 billion choices, you might think that it has unique intelligence, since there are less than 10 billion people in this world.

To one piece of input of any kind, each man shows his unique response among probably 10 billion ways in daily life.  So, if a robot responds to one piece of input of any kind by choosing one unique response out of possible 10 billion ways of response, you might judge that the robot actually thinks and behaves like a man does.

For another example, a movie is reproduced and presented at the rate of 24 frames per second, so that a robot moves its body at this rate must look moving naturally like a real man. 

Robots are mostly made of electronic circuits, while a man is made of biological cells.  There are about 40 trillion cells in the human body.  So, if a robot with 40 trillion semiconductor chips each of which can function like human cells, you may think that the robot is an artificial human.

If a robot comes to have the degree of accuracy in thinking and behaving that is equivalent to that of a human being, you must really think that the robot has become an artificial human.  Indeed, when a man thinks of or judges anything taking into account 100 factors in daily life, a robot having the ability to do so taking into million factors must look more intelligent and humane.            

However, no matter how much a robot reaches the level of human beings in terms of logical thinking and sensory judgement, it must be difficult for a robot to obtain the spiritual ability of human beings.  Indeed, the spiritual ability must be the key to understand the human intelligence, mind, and consciousness.

The Gospels should be read from this point of view:
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? (John 3)
 
In this context, to build a robot having spiritual power, artificial biological cells like human cells should be used instead of using electronic circuits, since a man made of human cells can receive spirit sent by the God.

Therefor, the issue should be how human biological cells, especially in the brain, receive spirit sent by the God through the spirit world into this material world.  However, it must be possible for us to find special biological mechanism in brain cells to capture spirit sent by the God.  In addition, we might be able to scientifically find how Satan spiritually influence this mechanism in the brain.

The relationship between the spirit world and the human world may be akin to the relationship between the human world and the artificial robotic world.

John 6, King James Version
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
