Can AI help us with theological/metaphysical questions like the question of the existence of g'd or a higher reality?

Not sure. I'm more interested in the theological questions AI raises about man. In the Christian tradition, man has typically been seen as a unique creature posessed with reason and langauge, which is what distinguishes him from lower animals, but if a computer is capable of complex reasoning what does that say about man? Anyway, thanks anon I've never seen Godel's proof of God.

Thats a really good questions, fellow and follow anon.
In the catholic tradition, the faculty to understand abstract ("platonic") ideas like a triangle is a proof for the immortality of the soul.
So, study math, to show that your soul is really eternal. ;)

Thomas of Aquin define the soul as the causa formalis of the body.
As the AI has no such a thing as a body, I guess, we can doubt that AI has a soul.
