Does quantum mechanics almost completely rule out the existence of an all powerful, omnipotent God?

Question

If you don't understand the question, then just move on please...

I think some of you may have misunderstood me. I do not mean that it rules out a higher being, just the Judeo-Christian version of one.

Answer 1

Dear bc Munkee: I have been in non-denominational teachings for 21 years. But, before I could reach those teachings, my intellect demanded I cover the topics of Archaeology, Ancient History, Religions of the World, Philosophy and even took a brief look at the World of Quantum Physics:

Years ago, I read the Book, "The Critical Path" by Buckminster Fuller. At the end of the book, he tied together his philosophy - and mathematics - joining them to spirituality. He came to the conclusion that the way the world was structured, etc., led him more to God than not. He was NOTa physicist, but had a philosopher's eye combined with being a mathematician. "Fuller sought to understand the principles of the Universe - and to discover human functioning therein. He wanted to discover how nature is designed and governed." Engineering and science disciplines brought him to certain conclusions.

The Author Gary Zukav who wrote "The Seat of the Soul" was a Harvard graduate and a Physicist. He is also the award-winning author of "The Dancing Wu Li Masters." This book is based on Quantum Physics (more presently called Mechanics). Gary Zukav reached similar conclusions after spending a good part of his life as a scientist - that the more he went into science and physics, the more he felt he was nearing God, Himself. "The Seat of the Soul" is written by a Gary Zukav who is now a spiritualist.

My personal thoughts on the subject, after reading "The Critical Path" - and, "The Seat of the Soul" as Gary Zukav outlines his Journey, is that the deeper one goes into the building blocks - especially the PATHWAYS or mechanics of our physical world, the more we come face to face with something so awesome -that it cannot be defined through scientific formulae. The scientist finds himself once again stymied. He recognizes that he is getting closer to a force that mathematically he cannot formulate and present to the scientific community as a complete answer to their questions.

You see, God is the all. He fills all space and dimension as spirit. What is spirit? It's likened to a frequency or electricity. It is mind with thought as swift as electrical current and a power that forges thought into creation.

I do not see science as being able to answer. They get up close to it, face it, and are left empty-handed. They cannot calculate God.

Hope this is of some help.

Answer 2

And you have a complete understanding of quantum mechanics?

Quantum mechanics is not the Theory of Everything. It is long ackowledged in the scientific community that it is an imperfect theory, but it's pretty good for what it's applied to.

And no, it doesn't "almost completely rule out the existence of an all powerful, omnipotent God." If anything, it gives MORE creedance to the idea of a God than the previous Newtonian conceptions of a purely deterministic universe.

Answer 3

Do we have a pride problem?
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of theoretical physics that supersedes classical mechanics at the atomic and subatomic levels. It provides the underlying mathematical framework for many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, particle physics, and nuclear physics. Along with general relativity, quantum mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics.

Albert Einstein, himself one of the founders of quantum theory, disliked this loss of determinism in measurement. He held that there should be a local hidden variable theory underlying quantum mechanics and consequently the present theory was incomplete. He produced a series of objections to the theory, the most famous of which has become known as the EPR paradox. John Bell showed that the EPR paradox led to experimentally testable differences between quantum mechanics and local hidden variable theories. Experiments have been taken as confirming that quantum mechanics is correct and the real world cannot be described in terms of such hidden variables. "Loopholes" in the experiments, however, mean that the question is still not quite settled.

Answer: Only if your veiw of G-d is tiny and silly.

Answer 4

Hardly! If we can accept the limitations of "Determinism, as seen through the realization that our perspectives of anything being limited by our physical capabilities and then the extent of our experiences thus far. Most intelligent minds are incapable of accepting the larger concepts of Quantum Mechanics that suggests that we may all be some product of God s conscientiousness.

Answer 5

I read a bunch about physics and love to ponder the possibilities about how the physical world works.String theory seeems to rule out earlier theories but none are completely proven.Parts of Einsteins relativity theory are coming under scrutiny now although revolutionary truths were ushered in upon mathematical proof of the basics of this theory.I believe spiritual law is the original force that is independent of physical law and physical law has so many rules to exist because it is dependent upon the basic rules of spiritual law.Good is 3 times stronger than bad.

Answer 6

No this actually proves His existance- by the way Many great scientist belived in God.... Albert Eienstien... Sir Issac Newton, and Edison....

YOu see Christians are not primitive idiots... no, in fact many study science- real science, and they often have to study the Theory of Evolution( Fairy tales for adults) as well...


O and the belief in God is not blind... you have to open your eyes first...


The Theory of Evolution is starting to crumble... it will be known as the great myth of the centuries....

All evidence actually really messes up with evolution...

How does life form from non-life?

How did the universe come into existance from nothing?

Where is the missing link? O yeah there are supposed to be millions of missing links in order for evolution to be true, too bad they haven't found any yet...


You have a good day, God bless...

Answer 7

For the semitic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) I would say YES!

For some religions like Sikhism, which believe in a formless GOD that pervades the universe, the new String theory is quite interesting because it reinforces some of the fundamental concepts of Sikhism.

Answer 8

I don't think most Christians believe in "magic". If the Bible teaches us anything it teaches us that God is a believer in rules and laws. He accomplishes everything by following natural laws (including quantum mechanics).

Answer 9

No, since God created everything, including dirt, how could you prove differently? Just because we can explain something doesn't mean we can duplicate it. I think its wonderful that we have been given the brains with which we can figure out anything,now perhaps we can actually do somethig good for those less capable of logical reasoning.

Answer 10

no, quantum mechanics explain the dimensions and the possible outcomes of events that are less likely to happen

such as wormholes, time warps and walking through solid objects

the chances of these things happening is low but in other dimensions it is possible. So your question doesnt make sense, how does it refer to GOD??
