On human thought and the divide between human and machine cognition

Introduction

I have often come across several question that have intrigued me.
1.  Should machine intelligence be recognised as sentient?
2.  Is it even possible for a machine to be sentient?
3.  Could it be possible for a sentient machine to possess a soul?

These are very intricate, delicate and obscure philosphical questions that one can not hope to even begin to explain in a single post.  These are questions that the top minds in the fields of Machine Sentience, Machine Cognition and Artificial Intelligence have spent decades researching, investigating and debating.  I  can hardly presume to possess more knowledge then thay do, nor do I.  Following is simply my thoughts on the matter.  Take them whichever way you wish, comment and reply and let us begin a civil dialogue.
