→Quantum mechanics and God: Your statement includes several assumptions that are worth considering first. Does God want to know everything?
::If God is omniscient then surely he doesn't need to observe. He would simply ''know''. Quantum mechanics is a theory about how reality presents itself to humans. Surely God is not subject to the restrictions of quantum mechanics (or any other physical theory), and there is no way for us to know how God "experiences" (if that is even an appropriate term) reality. --[[User:FrederickT|FrederickT]] 12:06, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

:::Your statement includes several assumptions that are worth considering first. Does God want to know everything? There are several instances in the Old Testament where God did not seem to automatically know the answer, but had to inquire to find out. Also, even if God knows everything, that would still not rule out a possible role for chance. Humans know everything about the physics of a simple coin, but still don't know the outcome of a coin toss until they look.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:05, 14 May 2011 (EDT)
