Sprinkel strongly refuted the current neo-stagnationist thesis that we are facing a future of limited and slow growth, declaring that this pessimism `` is based on very limited and questionable evidence ''.

It will be recalled from the discussion in Section 7 that the position of the `` right '', as represented by Barth, rests on the following thesis: The only tenable alternative to Bultmann's position is a theology that ( 1 ) rejects or at least qualifies his unconditioned demand for demythologization and existential interpretation ; ;

Turing's " definitions " given in a footnote in his 1939 Ph. D. thesis Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals, supervised by Church, are virtually the same:

In his 1605 thesis, the Polish historian Laurentius Suslyga was the first to suggest that Christ was actually born around 4 BC, deriving this from the chronology of Herod the Great, his son Philip the Tetrarch, and the daughter of Augustus, Julia.

Around 1230 the Dominican Hugh of St-Cher proposed the idea of a " treasury " at the Church's disposal, consisting of the infinite merits of Christ and the immeasurable abundance of the saints ' merits, a thesis that was demonstrated by great scholastics such as Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas and remains the basis for the theological explanation of indulgences.

He continued his academic career at Christ Church, Oxford, where he completed a history thesis in 1977.

The first part is an interpretation of the divinity and humanity of Christ as presented in the New Testament ( thesis 1 ).

The third part, which covers much the same material as The Constitution of Christ but in a somewhat different manner, formulates what Lonergan calls " theological conclusions " from the hypostatic union regarding the ontological constitution of Christ as one person in two natures ( theses 6-9 ), and his psychological constitution as a single subject of two subjectivities ( thesis 10 ).

The fifth and final section regards the redemptive work of Christ, in three theses: redemption in the New Testament ( thesis 15 ), the satisfaction given by Christ ( thesis 16 ), and " Understanding the Mystery: The Law of the Cross ," presenting Lonergan's synthetic understanding of Christ's work ( thesis 17 ).

The fundamental teaching of the prologue to the Gospel according to St. John, who says that the Word became flesh, asserts the improbable thesis that God incarnated himmself in a mortal flesh like ours — it asserts the unity of the Word and the flesh in Christ.

French Catholic librarian Jean-Baptiste Pérès wrote a satirical refutation of Dupuis's work under the title of Grand Erratum ( 1827 ), in which he maintains, in parallel to Dupuis's thesis that the cult of Christ is merely a cult of the Sun, that Napoleon ( who, in reality, died a mere six years before the publication of the pamphlet ) never existed, but was only a sun myth.

# REDIRECT Church – Turing thesis

In computability theory, the Church – Turing thesis ( also known as the Turing-Church thesis, the Church – Turing conjecture, Church's thesis, Church's conjecture, and Turing's thesis ) is a combined hypothesis (" thesis ") about the nature of functions whose values are effectively calculable ; or, in more modern terms, functions whose values are algorithmically computable.

In simple terms, the Church – Turing thesis states that a function is algorithmically computable if and only if it is computable by a Turing machine.

Informally the Church – Turing thesis states that if some method ( algorithm ) exists to carry out a calculation, then the same calculation can also be carried out by a Turing machine ( as well as by a recursively definable function, and by a λ-function ).

The Church – Turing thesis is a statement that characterizes the nature of computation and cannot be formally proven.

Despite the fact that it has not been formally proven, the Church – Turing thesis now has near-universal acceptance.

Thus Post in his 1936 was also discounting Kurt Gödel's suggestion to Church in 1934 – 5 that the thesis might be expressed as an axiom or set of axioms.

:" This heuristic fact recursive functions are effectively calculable ... led Church to state the following thesis (< sup > 22 </ sup >).

:"... the thesis has the character of an hypothesis — a point emphasized by Post and by Church (< sup > 24 </ sup >).

:" Heuristic evidence and other considerations led Church 1936 to propose the following thesis.

Because all these different attempts at formalizing the concept of " effective calculability / computability " have yielded equivalent results, it is now generally assumed that the Church – Turing thesis is correct.

Proofs in computability theory often invoke the Church – Turing thesis in an informal way to establish the computability of functions while avoiding the ( often very long ) details which would be involved in a rigorous, formal proof.

To establish that a function is computable by Turing machine, it is usually considered sufficient to give an informal English description of how the function can be effectively computed, and then conclude " By the Church – Turing thesis " that the function is Turing computable ( equivalently partial recursive ).

Dirk van Dalen ( in Gabbay 2001: 284 ) gives the following example for the sake of illustrating this informal use of the Church – Turing thesis:
