The Copenhagen Interpretation almost implies the existence of a "higher power" [an ultimate Observer, the first, setting the universe into existence.]
Granted, once he's done that,--by theory--he can do nothing with his new world but observe events unfolding randomly, based solely on probability?

It has been said that *if* a higher power started the ball rolling, that higher power has been out of a job for 13.7 billion years. The high energy physics that resulted in our universe can be explained by physicists practically back to time zero. To be precise, back to the Planck "era", which is 10 ^-35 of a second after time zero.

This is just a derivation of the deism of modernity, and like the deism of modernity, it makes the same mistake-- drawing a conclusion about the essential nature of God from a rational inference concerning God's existence.

That sounds more like a "belief" to me as opposed to a "theory," which can be tested.
