Shklovskii, to its ending so typical for our time and for the discussed problem. Shklovskii writes: ``An alternative to the conception, sketched above, rather non-optimistic, is the idea that intelligence is a manifestation of some super-material, transcendental principle. This is an old concept of God and the godlike nature of human mind. For the persons standing far apart (and not always far) from the science this concept seems much more optimistic and even moral. However, it is rather difficult nowadays to stand for the position having nothing in common with the science. Oblivion of that basic fact that we are a part of an objectively existing and recognizable material world, doesn't promise anything to anybody although creates false optimistic illusions''. As to me, after having read that now, I want simply to keep silent and to think. This fragment comprises our latest ten years, speaks for the author himself and for the problem itself. And it is not difficult now to stand for this position., moreover, now, to the contrary, a person who hasn't God in his heart is considered to be indecent. Nevertheless, the striking intuition of this man has revealed itself in the finality. It is clear, after all, that the concept of a ``deadlock branch'' can hardly survive, and only in a small universe with a finite age. And what to think having in mind the Tsiolkovskii's paradox? Really, we have consisely expresed a materialistic, atheistic, scientific point of view and have discovered God, the scientifically supported God.

The excerpt below is apparently translated from the Russian (or some other east european language), and imprecisely, leaving the reader to think more intensely about what the author might be saying. Nevertheless, it has a certain flavor to it, that makes me have read it more than the times of usuality
