What created the intelligence of humans? If your answer is God, then
press 'n' now -- otherwise your answer is "nature". Clearly nature
possesses no intelligence per se, so it is possible for a less
intelligent  system to create a more intelligent one.

If we can create a machine more intelligent than we, there is
real science fiction in pursuing the implications -- it means
we can then create a machine of infinite intelligence! Think
about it...
