There will never be "spiritual machines" or true
consciousness/awareness in a computer.

How will physical reality be able to distinguish between machines created by evolution and machines created by man in a lab?

This depends on one's philosophical position.
If you are a material reductionist like Kurzweil, you would say it can't.

But I would disagree, as I believe consciousness is primary and
does not originate from the physical domain.
