Nature? No. God? Yes. I believe all the evidence supports a Creator, of which nature is but a part.

Interestingly, aspects of M-Theory hearken back to Hugh Everett’s “Many Worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics of the mid-1950s in which “all” outcomes of events are realized, and are not simply chosen when the quantum wave function collapses and a specific outcome is realized.

If true, scaling energy downward to General Relativity - which would still be unified at a time lim=0 - should in consequence yield sets of circumstances in the macro as well. This could mean that when we die, however we die, our lives could continue in some other plane on which they have been playing out almost literally, eternally, with no break at all in the continuity of our lives, completely unaware of what had just transpired in that other plane of “this” existence.

...Except as a conjurer of ideas, such as I hope I can count myself. I don’t think God would mind. Hey, it’s just a hypothesis.

Though it does sort of gives a fresh perspective on the religious sense, here at least, of “eternal life”.

Best....
