[net.religion.jewish] Neshama, B'chira Chafshi, and AI

schwadro@aecom.UUCP (David Schwadron) (02/21/85)

I was wondering. Does anyone out there have ideas on the difference
between:
	neshama
	ruach elokim
	nefesh
 Which one of these is the seat of b'chira chafshi (free-will)?
Where does the brain fit into the picture?? 

	Since this is a computer net, and the main goal of this
posting is to get off the topic of ortho vs. reform vs. sephardim
vs. vus-vusim (anti-zionist or otherwise), how bout a discussion
on if the existance of a non-physical soul would rule outu
the possability of artificial intelligence.

                          May you never develop a moebious mind,
