Jan 4, 2022 · Two aspects of quantum physics are often cited when discussing God or religion. The first is the nature of observed cause and effect in quantum-level interactions. Actions and reactions at the quantum level can appear to violate barriers such as the speed of light and/or to occur without a logical relationship between cause and effect.
Aug 14, 2021 · The author argues that we should be agnostic about ultimate reality, as no answers are good enough. He criticizes the problem of evil, the problem of information and the multiverse hypothesis, and praises the beauty of life.
Quantum entanglement is, according to Isaac, fleeting and hard to sustain. In contrast, Adam entanglement is stable and, as we inevitably discover, hard to break. But entanglement with Christ is ...
Aug 6, 2023 · Quantum physics has provided amazing insights in recent decades that have revolutionized our understanding of the laws of nature. The connection between science and religion is an interesting ...

Imagine you and I are firing paintballs at the double slits on the canvas but we fire our paintball guns in an extremely fast, rapid-fire sequence. It’s possible that so many paintballs would crowd the slits that they would bounce off each other. This could form what looks like an interference pattern, even though paintballs are tiny pellets filled...
Deepak Chopra is a self-help guru known for offering advice that some find profound. For example, in one article Chopra says: Chopra misunderstands how quantum theory works. Observers are capable of reducing the probabilistic state of particles into definite states, but so can any interaction at the quantum level. A quantum state doesn’t ask if a p...
While gurus like Chopra try to use quantum physics to prove there is only a spiritual reality, skeptics sometimes use it to argue that only the material exists, and God is not necessary to explain why there is something rather than nothing. They claim, for example, that scientists have observed so-called “virtual particles” emerging, apparently wit...
A critic could say in response that even if these fields aren’t “nothing,” quantum physics still shows the universe could have come into existence without God. After all, quantum events like particle decay in atomic nuclei do not have causes and are entirely unpredictable. It may simply be the case that the emergence of our universe from nothing wa...
There are still many mysteries within the realm of quantum physics for scientists to explore. For example, Einstein’s theory of relativity describes the effects of gravity using classical physics, but the theory doesn’t describe how gravity works at the quantum level. That’s why physicists are currently working on a “quantum theory of gravity” to s...
Consider these two Deepak Chopra quotes: The first is a real Chopra quote; the latter is a random combination of words strung together by an online “Deepak Chopra quote generator” (wisdomofchopra.com). It’s hard to tell them apart, because Chopra’s “wisdom” is just a vague assertion that the mind creates reality combined with scientific jargon rela...
In 1935 Erwin Schrödinger created a thought experiment involving a cat that was locked in a steel box with a vial of poison. The vial would be broken if a radioactive molecule called an isotope underwent decay and set off a detector. Since atomic decay happens at the quantum level it’s impossible to predict when an isotope will emit a sub-atomic pa...
Dec 30, 2022 · Though the quantum seed was unwittingly planted by Planck in 1900, quantum physics took root with Einstein’s 1905 paper on light quanta and continued through to the development of the Schrödinger equation in 1926. Quantum Mechanics is a formal system which has many interpretations, most of which are empirically equivalent.
Jul 13, 2012 · The Gist: Quantum physics provides an argument against the philosophy called materialism (or “physicalism”)—-the primary intellectual opponent of belief in God in the modern world. The Excerpt: Materialism is an atheistic philosophy that says that all of reality is reducible to matter and its interactions.
