More than a computer

"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

-Stephen Hawking

I don't understand how someone can truly believe that statement. What about taking into consideration feelings and promptings of the spirit. If we were just a computer, logic would reign. Matters of the heart and soul would instead be logical decisions. I don't think relationships would be so important and critical to our happiness. Our bodies are an amazing compilation of systems which coordinate to allow our spirits to experience mortality.
