Additionally, events in one dimension are able to simultaneously affect events in the other dimension and distance is not an issue, even though the second dimension is non-local.

In this model, there is no way to know this divine being or connect with him in a meaningful way.

It's one or the other.
You can't have it both ways.

If events in one dimension affect events in the other dimension then, logically, it should go both ways.

Dr. d’Espagnat was awarded the prize for his work using theoretical physics to predict the reality of a hypercosmic god, who exists outside of the physical universe...

"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?"
- Isaiah 40:12a

In this model, there is no way to know this divine being or connect with him in a meaningful way. D’Espagnat’s notion of the impersonal/unknowable aspect of this god is not actually predicted by the model, but simply represents his own opinion on the matter.

Just his opinion and no predictions. He's worse than the evolutionists, but not worse than the religious fundamentalists.

Full disclosure. I am a Christian. But I don't see this as evidence of anything.

For what it's worth, if you could put God in a test tube and shake Him up with some litmus paper and watch it turn blue, would that God be worth worshiping?

Not in my opinion.

Although d’Espagnat concedes the theological implications of the term “veiled reality,” he guards against using it as justification for specific religious doctrines which can be falsified by reason and facts.

To prove God exists(in any form) or does not exist..
You must know WHat God is...
Who does?

Surely not this Templeton Primate..

That’s 4 million pounds/hour for his 15 minutes of fame. Not a bad hourly wage in these tough times.

We do not know what God is. God Himself does not know what He is, because He is not anything. Literally, God is not, because He transcends being.
- John Scotus Erigina, A.D. 840, as paraphrased by Philip K. Dick

So God is a mouse!

Read “So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.” by the late Douglas Adams to see what I am talking about.

This is good news?
