Life is Not Physical:
“The scientists seemed to have given up the idea of significance; they seemed to have lost their gift for philosophical thinking. So the focus on physical things was kept kicking along by the church, trying to treat the physical as life, which it isn’t. The Catholic Church is built on the notion that life is physical–the bits of hair of the Savior, the communion with the physical wine, the bread is my flesh, this is my body. In the mass or holy communion the wine is the blood: drink this: piece of bread: the purely physical contacts of life. If life were physical we really could make synthetic men, laboratory animals, and artificial intelligence; we never will.”
