Reddit reviews Chemistry: Atoms First

Okay then? Here you go.

This isn't a controversial opinion. Its science you learn in second grade. Below the atomic level, all that exists is independent particles (Or some other things like strings or abstractions if you want to interpret it differently). And substances as we know them are only arrangements of these. There is no fundamental "essence" of wine beyond that its an arrangement of things that look like what we call wine. The appearance as you call it is all that there is that you can adequately refer to as wine. So what makes up the wine is still as much "wine" as it ever was, as long as that accident remains. You can't say it stopped being wine, since you're implying another aspect that was never there in the first place. This isn't a science vs philosophy issue. Its a science and philosophy vs insisting that there's some other thing there that there's no reason for there to be issue.

That's only one half. The second half is that "flesh" "of Jesus" is ill defined. Flesh is also an emergent appearance of more fundamental particles. So right away, insisting that you mean something other than that means that you're not referring to flesh as it is meant by humans, which means strict insistence on that word is a bit mistaken. Since the argument relies on assuming some form of underlying substance that doesn't exist in any physical sense. So right off the bat you can't say that it ever stopped being bread or wine, and you can't say that insisting on usage of the word flesh as if that concludes the issue in place of explaining how one is defining it should be an exhaustive interpretation. So while something can be happening in some esoteric way, the insistence on language that can't be true in the literal way that is meant by the actual use of the words implies that the words were simply decided on before people knew this.
