Abstract
This study used artificial intelligence (AI) to examine a philosophical and a religious question. Microsoft Copilot was the chat bot selected to assist in the study. The two main goals of the present study were to determine whether Taoism is a religion or a philosophy, and to determine whether tai chi is compatible with Christianity. Both of those goals were achieved. Taoism has aspects of both philosophy and religion. Thus, it can be both, although it is not necessarily both. Both theists and atheists can be Taoists. Tai chi is compatible with Christianity, and the practice of tai chi can actually enhance the practice and experience of the Christian faith.
