ANT: Thirdly, as far as transubstantiation is concerned, the priest in a Roman
Catholic Church after blessing the bread and wine, doesn’t qualify, for
instance, the statement “this bread is the body of Christ” with the words
“but only in the sense of a being a non-scientifically known substance”. He
simply states “this bread is the body of Christ”. It is publicly given as a
literal truth in the Catholic mass. As such, the doctrine of
transubstantiation does imply that something that chemistry can measure in
the bread has been changed and, in consequence, this is one clear example
where ‘science and contemporary, non-fundamentalist theism are in conflict.’
You must be a real hoot at a poetry reading. Everytime there is poetic use of a metaphor I can see you shouting out "Lies Lies all lies" you did not qualify your statement of "love is a rose" with "but only in the sense of a being a non-scientifically known substance". Science can have something to say to say about that metaphor but the person would look like an idiot and be missing the point of the poem.
