But what is meant by "mind"? I for one cannot see any difference between "mind" and "soul", for example, so if you're saying A.I. has no soul, I agree; and I'd further state there is no ontological possibility that A.I. would have a soul either. It couldn't happen by accident, nor by any...

Oh.

Witty. Weighty. Never heard before stumper.

Oh. Ouch. What a zinger. Never heard that one.

Your dumb and grossly incorrect analysis is noted.

Well you should have been following the discussion instead.

Also, while we wait, Catholicism agrees with this, we just believe the Eucharist, the Lord's Supper, is that same sacrifice; it is an eternal sacrifice. iow at the Last Supper, the bread and wine transubstantiated.

Take it up with JR, as he's the one trying to make a point.

I believe what's in the Catechism of the Catholic Church just from rational grounds alone.

In that quote, Chrysostom said that the altar went from being just stone, to being a real altar. Chrysostom believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and that is why he therefore believed the stone altar was really an altar (and an altar means a priest offers sacrifices to deity...

That's it. We are the Body of Christ because we consume His body in the Eucharist. Yes.

Lots of good stuff, obv; the whole post. This part here though is philosophical in nature and not strictly speaking computer science or engineering anymore; and it is contentious within the philosophical literature. A very reasonable definition of intelligence among these professionals, is...

Oh absolutely. You can see right away from my link that ontology would be a category of metaphysics, where metaphysics includes all substances, topics, or themes that do not change, and that do not fall under other philosophical categories like ethics and epistemology. This includes of course...

You said: “ It isn't that complicated. Metaphysical refers to things that do not exist ontologically¹. The earth exists ontologically². Time does not³. The former is physical, the later is metaphysical. The physical refers to the material world and everything that can be observed, measured, and...

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaphysics/#WordMetaConcMeta “ ... [Aristotle's] Metaphysics is about things that do not change. In one place, Aristotle identifies the subject-matter of first philosophy as “being as such”, and, in another as “first causes”. ... [but] One might almost say...

So is God physical or metaphysical Clete? I need an answer.

Ontology and metaphysics are synonyms. If time does not exist, it does not exist ontologically or metaphysically. I agree with that, except that the physical is a category of the metaphysical.

It's really more of a philosophical word, here's a more appropriate source: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaphysics/#BeinSuchFirsCausUnchThin " If metaphysics now considers a wider range of problems than those studied in Aristotle’s Metaphysics, those original problems continue to...

Which is something that could not be done metaphysically before, and now it can be done. Ever since the computer was invented, A.I. became metaphysically possible. Computers enabled the metaphysical possibility of A.I. It was always logically possible, but it became metaphysically possible...

obv what you say here is untrue, otherwise everyone would agree with you. I mean they'd all already agree with you, like my example about the Sun's angle in the sky changing with the seasons, that's why I used that example, because there's zero dispute. There's dispute with the Euthyphro...
