The Big Bang is not random

[Robert the Pilegrim]

The multiverse idea: I'm not really sure how that came about but it is more sci-fi and more related to the anthropic principle and to the fine-tuning problem than to the Many-Universe interpretation.

That depends on which multiverse idea you are talking about.

I thought the Copenhagen Interpretation was an agreement that quantum physics is only prescriptive and does not claim to represent the physical processes that actually cause the rules prescribed?

<heh>
That is one interpretation

I am trying to sort out my memories from 20 years ago and what I am digging up on line.
http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p09.htm is pretty good and has some good links as well.

Ahh, go read up the issues yourself. Come back when you have a useful conclusion. I don't.

I don't need the internet to read up on quantum mechanics. I prefer a source book with reprints of all the original articles.

I believe that the Big Bang could be the way God created the universe. We have shown that the universe is expanding, which means it had a beginning. Athiests come up with theories about the universe, because if it had a beginning, then that means ID. And they don't like that. The Case for a Creator has a chapter about this. It's a really good book.
