   True, however we may "program" ourselves to act in this or that way   
   and then --at the moment of truth-- let our emotions take over.   
      
   Say we are trained in martial arts and we end up running when facing a   
   guy with a knife. Computers have no emotions such as fear or empathy.   
      
   We may assume that the "snake" begged Eve to try the forbidden fruit,   
   which spoiled all of God's plans. Then the blame lies on God, the   
   programmer of this computer we call brain. Satan was playing with   
   feelings, which are human after all.   
      
   So God wanted a computer and Satan a human being. ;)
