Unless you can show us that humans can calculate functions outside the Turing computable, it is logical to conclude that computers can be made to think due to Turing equivalence and the Church Turing thesis.

Given we have zero evidence to suggest we can exceed the Turing computable, to suggest we can is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence.

A single example of a function that exceeds the Turing computable that humans can compute, will do.

Until you come up with that example, I'll asume computer can be made to think.
