Attempting to unify QM with theism is woo woo?
Well that's the polite way of putting it yes.

Attempting to unify QM with theism is woo woo?
What's the realistic way of putting it?
It's woo woo only if you presuppose that "spiritual" means "non-physical".
I'm just trying to make a distinction between macro- and micro- so that spiritual can still have some sense of meaning or application.
Many people I have spoken with do just that. If you don't, how are you defining "spiritual" in this context?
I'd love to hear what you think that distinction is with respect to spirituality. Why is the micro more spiritual than the macro?
eudaimonia,

#?&%£'*='@# with knobs on.
So far I'm thinking God is the unifying field of QM (if that's even the right word to use), or even that super duper duper small stuff area we haven't yet, or can't even, conceptualize but know is there.
I'm guessing "...... with knobs on" is a regional expression...
I'd love to hear the meaning though, please P M me if it's forum inappropriate leslie?
It is an English colloquialism, and it is just a way of adding emphasis. For example, if after having a row, somebody said to you:
"Well, good riddance, and I don't see you again any time soon."
The reply might be:
"And the same to you, with knobs on."
I don't know how the expression originated.
Ask Usus. He definitely knows what he's talking about a lot more than I do with this subject. I'm just thinking out loud here.
You want me to ask Usus to explain why you believe something that you believe?
You know...if you didn't want to answer you could've just said so. I won't call it a cop out, i just won't take it seriously when you make a similar statement in the future.
Gobbledygook. What you really mean is that you are trying to bring God down to a level you can comprehend. That, and you want to fool yourself that you can "prove" his existence.
I wouldn't trust either theology or science in your hands - or those of the Electric Universe nutters.
Can we please go ONE response on these forums without superfluously appealing to a copout. Just ONE? (Sorry, Ana, that was only very minimally directed at you.)
And I don't believe Usus' ideology. I'm only trying to prove how it isn't heretical. I don't believe (yet) that the quantum world explains the spiritual. But I do think the quantum world is the fundamental playing ground for the spiritual (God) to change things, especially given indeterminacy.
Why?
Another way than non-physical. Hence my attempt at a distinction. But just because I can't come up with a good alternative doesn't mean there ain't one.
Well, I don't quite dig what Usus holds, but I wouldn't doubt I will if he keeps making incredible posts like he has. So far I'm thinking God is the unifying field of QM (if that's even the right word to use), or even that super duper duper small stuff area we haven't yet, or can't even, conceptualize but know is there. Macro stuff is non-QM stuff in the physical sphere. There's something inherent to the former that isn't with the latter, though, well beyond physical stuff. Because even quarks are physical, aren't they? You can see I'm struggling.
Such is the way of unsubstantiated assertions Received. Personally, I have no problem with someone making an unsubstantiated assertion...everyone is entitled to their opinion. The problem only arises for me when someone makes such a statement... and seems as if they want others to consider it. If that's the case, they should expect the types of followup questions you've been getting.
However, it seems now that wasn't the case...you were just weighing in with your opinion and didn't really want anyone to consider it. It's a difficult thing to discern over the internet. If that's the case, I'll respectfully retract my "Why?"
Before I go to work I want to get back to you...
In brief: GOD before the beginning of a universe is like the body of a man (only for the purpose of this functional metaphor). God opens his mouth to speak the Word and vibrates it into Being with his breath filled mouth.
GOD opening His mouth is the creation of the space of the universe. He remains outside the universe as God the Father in Christian terminology.
His breath fills the entire space of his mouth/universe. The (Holy)Spirit of God permeates all existence and is the very medium vibrating to give rise to all form and phenomenon. Vibrating/boiling/foamy quantum field (matrice).
His Word is a vibrational expression of Himself composed by his own breath within the universe. This is God the Son. The Lord of all creation. The Holy One. The soul that incarnated a Jesus.
I have another example to explain this triple contraction into 3 relative finite structures as a single motion within a single homogeneous substance. But that will have to wait until I get back from work. TTYL!![]()
Thanks. I can't blame you for assuming I was trying to make a specific point, rather than make a point with just enough of a requirement to prove non-heresy rather than an independent content-filled point.
