Therefore that emulated echo of a meat-consciousness trapped in a silicon prison, though it would have a bizarre experience, is a sentient and living being for so long as the electromagnetic transformations that occur in time in real space by biological means are properly emulated. Regardless of whether that being was endowed its existence by your God or by technology.
