This superposition only collapses into a single state when the system is observed...

But isn't God the Ultimate Observer? Remember Bishop Berekley's par of limericks.

The ultimate tangled hierarchy rests on this principle:

The Universe could not exist as it is without us observing it so

BUT

We could not be here to observe the Universe if it did not exist as it is.

I asked my first philosophy prof if Berkeley’s esse est percipi could be disproved. He hemmed and coughed a bit, saying it was long and complicated,then he dismissed the class.
I’ve yet to hear it disproved.
