[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 181904, member: 18224"] This article may be of interest then: [url]https://www.bigquestionsonline.com/content/does-quantum-physics-make-it-easier-believe-god[/url] It looks at the idea from the side of the atheists... that is to say that if everything is material, and just matter in motion (including our minds being essentially a machine made of meat), which also removes free will and thought... then the only result of quantum physics theories would be the Many Worlds Interpretation, where probabilities are never actually resolved and instead all possibilities exist at once... meaning there is an infinite amount of 'you' in different worlds all carrying out the infinite number of different probabilities. That seems a bit far fetched.... And the author comes to the conclusion that the only way probabilities can be solved or finalized in the equations, is with a 'mind' or consciousness that transcends the material world and becomes a 'conscious observer' since probabilities can not be 'finalized' unless the final result is observed - and it has to be a 'conscious' observer it can't be an inanimate object that measures (a geiger counter is used in the example) because there is still nobody to observe what the geiger counter is measuring. That line of thinking is not only one physicist spnadmin ji.... or else it would never be as wide spread as it is. If it were only one physicist, then the video would not have contained that many people taking about the same thing. There are other videos as well that get into this topic... What The Bleep Do We Know?, Spirit-Space, and others... all by different authors. Suffice it to say I am assuming you are Athiest, (I am still struggling how one can interpret Sikhi as Athiesm) and in this case follow the many worlds theory - that everything is just matter in motion and we are nothing more than meat machines that follow 'set in stone' rules of nature.

We can't possibly claim to know all there is about science right now at this point in time... and for me, if I held my beliefs in line with contemporary physics, ignoring any possible advances and only believing what contemporary science can show me in physical means.... Then why would anyone even need a religion? Just live life and then die... and cease to exist with no hopes that there is anything more.
