Quote1 Those who look for demons, will always find them! But those who look for the good and the noble in all nature's creatures will find that, too! I pray that some day man will stop seeking demons below, and will lift his eyes up high -- up to where our destiny lies! Quote2

A scientist creates a computer so sophisticated that it can out think human beings.
