In Quantum terms, does God exist and not exist at the same time until observation occurs?

Question

Thus we cannot say that God exists or doesn't exist until we die and see him/don't see him. So long as the wave function is not collapsed then God is neither in a state of existence nor non existence.

I'm no expert in quantum physics and hope that I have the basis of a reasonable theoretical question and I hope it is technical enough to keep the Fundamentalists away.

Agnostic!

JDM I can see my brain in an X-ray or other measuring device. It is observation not sight!!!!

Answer 1

It's obvious. God is stroking Schrodinger's cat, and doesn't know himself whether he exists. The cat, however, is quite certain that he himself exists. Unlike the rest of the universe, he thinks, therefore he is (René DesCats)

The real God, says the cat, is the great Tomcat in the sky who made us all, mice to feed us and humans to stroke us. All but this is vanity.

Answer 2

If God brought about the singularity and immediate Big-Bang that caused all the matter in our universe to start expanding at an incredible rate, then slow down some and coagulate into stars and planets, with gravitation pulls of amassed matter which caused it all to take the shape of the (still expanding universe) we know today, then God created that singularity.
Somehow that singularity and resulting matter had to occur, and its reason for occurring can be attributed to God, if you take that quantum and resulting astrophysical singularity as the definition of God.
Consider closer to home than the creation of the universe, and lets look at planet Earth which nurtures this apparent 'miracle' we call life, and even Darwinians all agree that life must have started somewhere in the oceans and at a very primitive level of micro-organisms. But that's where the chain of life set off, arguably as spontaneously as the Big-Bang, and you could also take that as a point where science allows for God's existence, as the initiator of the first links in the chain of life.
If those two arguments, the quantum/astro and the biological prove that I have, at the very least, a suspended disbelief in God, then I guess I'm an agnostic too. Bit I don't really believe in the interference of some sentient being (and I think that's what's really mean when people use the word 'God'), so it's more realistic to say I'm an atheist.

Answer 3

I would rather say that in Quantum terms, I exist, and not exist at the same time until I choose to see that I do for sure, and the if I try to imagine to be otherwise, i.e. to be non-existent, then that would be a pure fallacy in the mind as an impossible reality.

I exist because I observe myself into existence, but I also fantasise about my non-existence, because I seek to know how wide or how far I could see through all that exists into further beyond, but when I ask what if I do not exist, I in fact ask – what if there is no God? But the answer to this question I do not find, and my mind then understands doubt. But if have no doubt, and believe completely or gaze into the quantum world of existence most intensely, I may see that there is God absolutely. Then it would have been the same asking – either if God exists, or if I do.

Even the most casual observers have to have somewhere to rest that observation post - nothing can ever be observed without certainty to rest the case of an observation. But certainty is what physical matter lacks at its heart. No human act of observation would ever provide enough amount of certainty to deal with unpredictable nature of matter at a sub-atomic level; all we know is mainly theoretical and induce from indirect observation methods - but if we leave behind the intricacies of quantum physics behind a while and think life on the whole as an act of observation. That it is our act of observation the makes it possible for things to assume some meaningfulness in our view, and God Almighty is the reference point for this observation. Without his being we would not have be able to observe anything of the world that we are into existence, everything would have shifted and disintegrated into non-existence. Then this reference to our being is what we in turn try to observe, and when we cast doubt upon the existence of God we in fact doubt our own.

Answer 4

i'm not partial to the "religious interpretation" of quantum mechanics. maximum classical interpretations say that wave functionality cave in occurs by way of interplay with different debris. because of the fact all circumstances of length and fact are circumstances wherein debris work together, this interpretation has the comparable explanatory potential because of the fact the religious interpretation, devoid of the messy prefer for "know-how." And it type of feels to me that God's debris (if God exists spatio-temporally) might prefer to have interacted with different debris as a results of arising the universe, so God's wave functionality could have collapsed to an eigenvalue. EDIT: God can not certainly exist and not exist on the comparable time. He would nicely be the two alive and lifeless, or violate the regulation of the excluded center in some incorrect way. existence, even nevertheless, can not be in a state of superposition.

Answer 5

God exists for sure for one thing look at creation! Hebrews 3:4 Every house was constructed by SOMEONE so he that Created all things is GOD!! The Bible from Genesis to Revelation Does not mention anywhere we go to heaven when we die!! We were created to inherit the earth. God is soon going to prove he exists when he turns his attention to mankind wipe out all wickedness, crime, violence, wars, and bring the earth back to peacefull conditions as he purposed. Why do we have so much wickedness and no peace??? Because God is proving to us man can not rule themselves we need God to direct our steps.. Read Daniel 2:44 speaks about a Goverment ruling all the earth, a Heavenly Goverment. it will crush all Human goverments that exist today. Another word for Goverment is a Kingdom, this is the Kingdom we pray about in the "Lords prayer" or "Our Father Prayer" we are praying for his Goverment to come. What are the benefits of the Kingdom? Read Revelation 21: 3-4 NO MORE DEATH, NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE SUFFERING! when will this occur?? Very soon! Read 2 Timothy 3:1-5 speaks about the last days when God will intervene, look at the signs they are all today, look at Mathew 24:3-14 signs we are near the end of mans wicked system, and were God is going to usher in a new peacefull paradise like he intended in the begining.

Answer 6

the term "god" means existence.... ontop of that since we are imperfect beings when we came into existence, but have the idea of a perfect being in our mind; sicne our imperfection limits us in our knowledge surely the only way for a perfect being to even b conveiced as an idea means that "god" surely exists as a perfect being.

Answer 7

God exist in the minds of them that believe.because they are solid and do exist it is just the theory of god that exist not that a solid form of god ever existed,therefore we can say god is not real but just in theory he is,
kind regards x Kitti x

Answer 8

LOL

Your impression that Quantum Physics is a Religion is CORRECT!!!!!

;-)

Answer 9

If God is a subatomic particle then you may have a valid question.

Answer 10

it's like to see is to believe ne?

don't be a casuist here, but,

can you see your brain? ^_^
