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...

I know. But it does things like this: https://lite.cnn.com/2024/10/09/science/nobel-prize-chemistry-proteins-baker-hassabis-jumper-intl/index.html Which was my point. It's a new tool for us, never ever had one of these before. So the things that are now metaphysically possible to do (A.I...

Say your daily basal metabolic rate is 1965 calories. If you eat 150 grams of protein from skinless chicken breast every day, you'd also consume c. 20 grams of chicken fat also, so that's c. 780 calories. If you just ate that (with like some salt or mustard or vinegar or something basically...

We need Trump and Vance. Four more years.

We know how atoms work. They are 100% determinist until the Planck scale, and then it's statistical, like rolling dice or flipping coins. Meaning we can't discern cause-and-effect anymore, not saying there's not cause-and-effect, just saying that we ... Actually hold on. We do now know that...

It's never the guns at all. If we don't want Iran or North Korea to have the biggest guns for example, nuclear armed ballistic missiles, then it's still not the guns, and we should whenever we can afford to do it, invade, subdue and destroy their regimes and take over the countries and occupy...

So start with about 120 grams of protein a day. 160 grams is better but 120 grams is a good start. And it has to be discounted, according to how well your body digests it, which means your age (because your body digests protein worse as you get older) and the source. Protein powders are...
