Similarly, we cannot program an illogical, natural, organic being with some limited and self-created system of logic.
First of all, that is a pretty terrible analogy. Of course mixing paint won't have the same effect as mixing wavelengths of light. In TV, if you want a color the TV emits that color. It emits red if you want red, it emits blue if you want blue, and if you want white it emits every color together. Every wavelength of light combined creates white. In paint, if you want a color, the paint absorbs every color except the one you want. If you want red, your paint absorbs everything but red and reflects red. If you want blue, it absorbs everything but blue and reflects blue. If you mix together every color of paint, your paint is then absorbing every color and you won't have anything but black. So not only are you comparing apples to oranges, I don't even see how that has anything to do with the argument.
Second, you don't see how it is possible to create consciousness, therefore you are saying definitively that it is impossible. That is extremely closed minded. People 10,000 years ago didn't have access to enough information to even fathom how it could be possible to create something like the internet. If you tried to tell them what an electron was they would probably laugh and walk away. It seemed reasonable to them because how could something like that exist? However, you are just perpetuating that instead of learning from their mistakes. Just because you don't see how it could be possible doesn't mean it never will be. By saying, without a doubt, that something can never possibly happen you are saying that you know everything about the universe, and within this universe consciousness can only (for some reason) be grown from a mothers womb. To me, it seems extremely arrogant for you to think you know everything about this universe.
