TRVA123:
I went archive diving to find some more "in world" information about the nature of Questionable Content AI,

One where Hanners explains to Winslow where the first AI came from:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/1506

And then several comics where Winslow is talking about various AnthroPC topics:

The negative stereotypes about AnthroPCs: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=805

Well, duh, because that would mean that people aren't a special creation and therefore have no divinely appointed right to do whatever the hell they want to everything else. And since every known* god is a creation of humans, that would never happen.


*If there are alien civilisations out there it would not be that much of a surprise to find that they have or had gods of their own. But we don't know that yet.

Random Al Yousir:
I always had trouble with the idea of divine intervention.  If she* did a proper job in the first place, there wouldn't be a point in it.  If she has to correct her work now and again, this would suggest lack of skill or information, which violates the whole idea of god.


* The male sex joined life late in the game.  Besides, the bearers of new life are the females.
