Common fallacy to state.

What was the fallacy?

Lack of understanding is not proof of not being in a situation. Just because we can’t comprehend (yet) momentum versus position, does not mean it is “impossible” Only “uncomprehendable”.

No, we understand the superposition principle clearly. It is what governs the universe. Some people may not like it, Einstein famously declared that 'God does not role dice' but even he bowed to defeat in the end.

The fact of the matter is- we don’t know all the facts about existance yet, so how can either side boast claims to proof of anything? *Especially* the people who venture to say there is no God. An unexplained origin is at least an origin. “No God” supposes we are then looking for proof of nothing... which in our own limited growth translates to “Why the hell should we even care?”
The answer comes back- because there is an origin, and you will know it!

True, we are just beginning to understand the physical laws that govern the universe and most of our explanations are found wanting. The origin though, is clearly explained by quantum Mechanics. Something can come from nothing, it's all about the odds.

“The origin though, is clearly explained by quantum Mechanics. Something can come from nothing, it’s all about the odds.”

I think you assume to much into the quatum. we have few examples of it’s workings that we could demonstrate, and even fewer solid theories as to why they work.

Something has never come from nothing. It has only come from what we do not yet know!


And the “fallacy” was making an assertion to or against the proof for God. Given the nature of the subject (and our lack of understanding) it is premature to assert such a thing. Thus- a fallacy.

Think of Schrotinger’s(I know that can’t be the right spelling) Cat. “That cat has no scientific proof of living!”

Well... it has no proof of *not* living either, therefore the previous statement is moot.
