The apparatus is a "quantum gun" which each time its trigger is pulled measures the z-spin of a particle [particles can be spin up or spin down, seemingly at random]. It is connected to a machine gun that fires a single bullet if the result is "down" and merely makes an audible click if the result is "up".... The experimenter first places a sand bag in front of the gun and tells her assistant to pull the trigger ten times. All [QM interpretations] predict that she will hear a seemingly random sequence of shots and duds such as "bang-click-bang-bang-bang-click-click-bang-click-click". She now instructs her assistant to pull the trigger ten more times and places her head in front of the barrel. This time the "shut-up-and calculate" [non-MWI interpretations of QM] have no meaning for an observer in the dead state... and the [interpretations] will differ in their predictions. In interpretations where there is an explicit non-unitary collapse, she will be either dead or alive after the first trigger event, so she should expect to perceive perhaps a click or two (if she is moderately lucky), then "game over", nothing at all. In the MWI, on the other hand, the ... prediction is that [the experimenter] will hear "click" with 100% certainty. When her assistant has completed this unenviable assignment, she will have heard ten clicks, and concluded that the collapse interpretations of quantum mechanics [all but the MWI] are ruled out to a confidence level of 1-0.5n Ë 99.9%. If she wants to rule them out "ten sigma", she need merely increase n by continuing the experiment a while longer. Occasionally, to verify that the apparatus is working, she can move her head away from the gun and suddenly hear it going off intermittently. Note, however, that [almost all instances] will have her assistant perceiving that he has killed his boss.

There's not room here -- It's 66 smaller books/letters in one sizable anthology.
But you can "Google" it (or search here on Yahoo), and read the whole thing, book by book online.
I recommend you do so -- but just pick one of the books at a time... maybe start with one of the shorter ones, or if you like narratives (i.e., story) pick something like John or Luke ar Acts or 1st Samuel. Or if you'd prefer poetry, pick Psalms or Ecclesiastes or Song of Solomon. (But only that last one if you like love poetry.)
But quote the entire thing? In this one answer box? If you get in print, it's usually over 1000 pages!
Pick one part to start with.

You know, I think there is actually a limit on the length of answers, although it sure doesn't seem as though that's the case. I had a very, very lengthy copy-and-paste answer for a question from 'Lion of Judah' (formerly 'slicky boy') ready to paste yesterday morning, but it wouldn't post:-(

Take too long and I'm a slow typist. You'd have chosen a best answer before I was half way done. (And that after extending the question twice).

The Old Testament quotes on scriptures that are told in the New Testament...not spooky, but very strangely done.

No, yahoo doesn't allow for the space this would take, also that would be futile not only because you would not understand it,but also because you would not even bother reading it anyway so if you don't want an answer why ask the question in the first place!

I think quoting it all would take to long you can read it on line.
but basically God created humanity to live in a perfect Paradise yet they sinned. to cover their sin they had to kill animals and sacrifice to God. but God created a beter sacrifice through Jesus who died for the sins of all how look to him for salvation. and at the end he (Jesus ) will return to take those who know him.

No, but I'll give you the Cliff's Notes version of it.
God is real.
He loves you.
He sent His son to pay your punishment so that you might reconciled with Him in Heaven for eternity.
Amen.

Glad to:
Old Testament:
Goat-herding nomads with a persecution complex settle into their desert community.
New Testament:
Be nice to people.
Oh, yeah: here's a few "books" added by influential church leaders in 400 years.
Ok, I'm dead now -- stop being assholes to people because they don't think I'll "rise again".
