Heaven Has a Hardware Problem

Heaven Has a Hardware Problem

On the last episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, artificial intelligence John Henry noted the wonderful capacity of the human brain to process and store data, and yet its flawed nature inasmuch as there is nowhere to download it all to when one dies. He then goes on to mention that the Bible solves the problem by introducing the concept of heaven, but after considering the computer needed for his own program to run, John Henry realizes that โ€œheaven may have a hardware problemโ€.

The episode as a whole has fascinating and surprising religious themes and other plot developments. And as an added treat, I got to hear the song โ€œDonald Whereโ€™s Your Trousersโ€ again, after more than a decade since the last time I heard it.
