The discussion revolves around the nature of randomness in quantum mechanics (QM) and its implications for the existence of a theistic God. Participants clarify that QM does not address the existence of God, but questions arise about whether the randomness inherent in QM undermines the concept of a deity. There is also a focus on understanding mathematical concepts like Hilbert space and inner products, with requests for simpler explanations due to varying levels of mathematical background among participants. The conversation highlights the distinction between scientific inquiry and theological debate, emphasizing that QM's randomness does not equate to a lack of causation. Ultimately, the thread seeks to clarify the scientific principles of QM while acknowledging philosophical implications without crossing into religious discussions.

warren, slightly off topic, in anther thread I mentioned you in that I would like you too read something I wrote to give your input.. I made it clear that these is a philosophical/theological spin to it,, and to a cosomological concept, those I believe non-boundary proposals now seem by some claims to have possible testable results?


can you veiw it, and tell me if its at last reasonible?

I don't think it argues against the existence of a god at all. If there is any interaction between a nonphysical god and the physical world it has to occur through some element of random- why couldn't god choose the outcomes of events that are utterly random? Seems logical...
