I don't understand why you are bothering asking your question - but to give a literal answer, my interest in synthesising intelligent agents is an offshoot of my interest in creating living things - which is an interest I have had for a long time and share with many others. Machine intelligence is obviously possible - assuming you have a materialist and naturalist world-view like mine.

I think someone needs to put forward the best case they can find that human brain emulations have much of a chance of coming before engineered machine intelligence.

I misunderstood. I thought you were saying it was your goal to prove that instead of you thought it would not be proven. My question does not make sense.
