Omega Point Theory

From Conservapedia

Omega Point Theory (OPT) (also referred to as Quantum Omega Point Theory) is the theory postulated by cosmologist and mathematical physicist Frank J. Tipler which claims to be "experimentally verifiable, that the beings near the Omega Point will resurrect anybody who has ever lived into a state close to classical descriptions of Paradise and that the Omega Point itself corresponds to the religious notation of God."^[1] The theory first appeared in book-form in The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (1986) co-written by Tipler and astrophysicist John D. Barrow and theoretical physicist John A. Wheeler. Tipler says: "Reducing the Omega Point Theory to one sentence, it is this: God, who is a personal being who created the universe out of nothing, exists, loves us, and will one day resurrect us all to live in heaven forever. Now defending this outrageous statement using rigorous science takes a 600-page book. But I can turn every single word into a reductionist statement of physical reality. What the average Christian religious person with no knowledge of physics hopes for will in fact occur."^[2]

The Omega Point is a concept first proposed by Jesuit paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin "as a reference to Christ as the final goal of the evolutionary process."^[3]

Omega Point: attributes of God

Tipler's Omega Point has all the attributes which have been claimed for God:^[4]

• the Omega Point will be omnipresent, as it will be the totality of the universe
• the Omega Point will be omniscient, as it will know everything which is possible to be known
• the Omega Point will be omnipotent, as it will live for an infinite amount of subjective time, will be able to perfectly render any environment or experience which is not logically contradictory (such as a "square-circle," a stone so large that even It could not move it, or 2+2=5, etc.)
• the Omega Point will be able to resurrect all life (assuming it doesn't exist in the Omega Point already)

Tipler's OPT also demonstrates that the Omega Point "has a Trinitarian structure, and that this structure is innate to the mathematics of the OPT [and] ...that the central miracles of Christianity - the Incarnation, the Resurrection, and the Virgin Birth - are completely consistent with known physical law. Furthermore, once we see how the Son (who is required by physics to be the Second Person of the Trinity) did these miracles, we will see that indeed He came into the world to save it. "^[5]
