I can...and it will probably seem as blind faith to you, but that is because there is no materialstic evidence that is right in front of your face.
I'd like to relate it to this idea...tell me if you think it's flawed. Say there was an artificial intelligent *computer* ..it was super smart, and continued gaining knowledge and input from all different sources which continually fed it input.
The computer would make smart decisions based on it's input. But...if it was truley intelligent, would it not be able to know that it was performing a task? By that I mean--it would become self aware, eventually.
If something becomes self aware--would it have any doubt that it is not aware?
I don't think it would...
