The alleged conflict between religion and science most pointedly focuses on what it is to be human. Western philosophical thought regarding this has progressed through three broad stages: mind/body dualism, Neo‐Darwinism, and most recently strong artificial intelligence (AI). I trace these views with respect to their relation to Christian views of humans, suggesting that while the first two might be compatible with Christian thought, strong AI presents serious challenges to a Christian understanding of personhood, including our freedom to choose, moral choice itself, self‐consciousness, and the relevance of God to our beginning, being, and ending.

基督教，科学和人类的三个阶段

宗教与科学之间所谓的冲突最明显地集中在人类是什么上。西方与此有关的哲学思想已经经历了三个主要阶段：心/身体二元论，新达尔文主义和最近的强大人工智能（AI）。我将这些观点与基督教与人类的观点联系起来，指出尽管前两种观点可能与基督教思想兼容，但强大的人工智能给基督徒对人格的理解提出了严峻挑战，包括我们的选择自由，道德选择本身，自我意识，以及上帝与我们的开始，存在和结束的关联。
