Naw. Because they retain the appearance of bread and wine, taste, smell and texture, down to the molecular, no--- the atomic level! They just happen to be something else now. Pretty darn miraculous, don't you think?

No, because these things retain the "accident" of bread and wine. That is their physical appearance remains what it was, even though they are substantially the body and blood of Christ.
That is what we believe in faith. Our reason for believing it comes from 1 Cor. 11 and John 6, in which Jesus insists on an absolutist meaning of his suggestion that he is "real food" and "real drink."

When I first learned about transubstantiation in Catholic grade school, I had nightmares about police coming to get us all for being cannibals.
I tellya, it's a good thing they bought me a new dress and a big cake for my FHC, or I wouldn't have cooperated.

You are so weighed down in earth's mud that you cannot understand those things of the spirit.

If you believe in transubstantiation... yes.
