Jan and her younger brother Jack discussed the recently announced Singularity.

    "No. It''s just like the God question."


    "You stopped believing after college, but I still believe in God."


    "Because, Jack, both are intrinsically metaphysical and non-falsifiable."


    "But I experienced a miracle. I survived that horrible car accident."


    "Okay, Jack, that shows the Singularity question has more in common with religion than science. For some, anecdotal evidence will prove or disprove it, but it requires faith to believe in its miraculous sentience, qualia, or consciousness."
