Michael, the OP is not even close to being Aristotelian. It makes the same artificial distinction between body and mind as Descartes. From a neo-Scholastis perspective the OP is one big straw man.
He also asserts that the material and immaterial cannot interact. Why not? Again the OP begs the question by defining material and immaterial in such a way that they cannot affect one another and then comes to the unsurprising conclusion that they cannot interact.
