First, try The Tao of Psychics" by Fritjof Capra.
Next, try " Mind into Matter" by Fred Allen Wolf, Ph.D.
The best book on the subject is theories written by all the major phsychists throughout history - Quantum Questions : Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists
Go to any book store site, there's lots of them:
Parallel Worlds: A Journey through Creation
Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
Quantum Theology: Spiritual Implications of the New Physics
Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy
"Again, who enforces the laws of physics?"
Everything in existance.
"I don't know why the laws of physics exist. I don't know why the universe exists."
Stop there and ask yourself: "If I don't know this, how can I claim to 'know' anything?"
You "know" the consequences of certain laws, yet you have not observed life coming forth from simple compounds. How do you "know" what you say it true then?
"The only difference between the laws of theology and the laws of quantum are the choices of words."
Well, if your trying to map the terminology of quantum mechanics to religion, the best fit is with a generic neither-here-nor-there it-its-all-in-how-you-look-at-it, we-create-our-own-reality new ageish belief system.
"Again, who enforces the laws of physics?"
Jesus. He sits on the right side of God and makes sure that every particle behaves itself. Should one get out of line he sends them directly to hell.
If it isn't a miracle, then THAT's a miracle!!
You know, PH and I ahve had a few kind words together on this thread. I think you should read them. Especially the ones concerning how one slams creationists.
"How do you "know" what you say it true then?"
I don't know. It is my best hypothesis given what I have seen and studied on this planet. If you have a better explanation than mine I would love to hear it.
Why? All they can do is preach their pagan religion. They have no proof at all. Why waste all that time learning nothing but wild theories?
I'd rather go shopping.
Ahem:
6 yom. 6 periods of time. (for one thing)
Another- Genesis 2:7.
No, they abide the laws. Who enforces them?
"Why? All they can do is preach their pagan religion. They have no proof at all. Why waste all that time learning nothing but wild theories?

Then please do. And since you abhor science so much, you better not drive to the mall, or go to a doctor while you are there. Since scientists are just a bunch of pagans its best you not use their infernal contraptions lest ye be sentanced to hell for following the pagans.
So far as anyone can tell, the laws of physics just are what they are. That answer isn't much different ultimately than saying "god is what it is" except it's easier for most people to pretend the latter is satisfactory. I think the reason is because part of the pretense is the notion that after death the question will be answered, whereas otherwise we probably won't ever have the answer, and people really hate not being able to have something they want so badly....
"Ahem:
6 yom. 6 periods of time. (for one thing)
Another- Genesis 2:7."
Are you saying that people don't believe that life was created in 6 literal days? I know not everybody does. That is besides the point in either case.
Did life spring from nothing? Or did life arise from compounds already present on the planet?
What have you been reading???
The archeology websites and the study of Neanderthal DNA. They can't explain any of it! I'm still waiting for an answer. It's all "The theory holds, maybe, we assume, it would suggest...."
All evolutionary documents are like that. They have nothing!
The big foot thing was sarcastic. I thought it was funny.
I'd be willing to say any Amish man is a better man than you or I.
They hold to what you just stated in sarcasm.
That being said
The same thing applies to evolution. They're both just beliefs based on faith.
Read the passage I gave you. Any Bible thumper knows life didn't come from nothing. It even suggests that life came from non-living things. But another being was required to form it.
"Are you saying that people don't believe that life was created in 6 literal days?"
Are you sayign that it's the common consensus? You assume much, young padawan.
"Preaching that life came from non-life is not only not scientificly sound (as it is yet to be observed)"
That is the silliest statement I have ever heard. Of course life came from non-life. Where else could it come from? Either life has always existed or at some point it originated from matter we would not consider alive. Even if I believe that God created life out of nothing, it still had to come out of non-life.
There is overwhelming evidence in favor of evolution; the only serious debate is whether it was guided by an external force.
