Quantum entanglement offers quite a bit of evidence for God to me.
“Darwinian atheists” he says. Darwin wasn’t an atheist.
It’s a shame he isn’t an atheist cosmetologist; that way he would at least have a better foundation to use in his work, if not in his beliefs.
“First, no one cares what Dr. Albrecht finds “deeply unsatisfying”; he can find himself another universe if he likes, and take his fads in physics with him.”
My thoughts exactly. Why are atheists so d@mned militant about `correcting’ the beliefs of religious people?
There are two prominent scientists in the fields of cosmology and quantum mechanics who give people of faith plenty of reason for hope. They are cosmologist Paul Davies and quantum mechanics expert Lothar Schafer.

It seems like a miracle to me. Unexplainable on any level.
Dawkins already wrote a book with the same thesis in “The Grand Delusion”.
“Darwinian atheists” does not refer directly to Charles Darwin’s personal views on God - it now describes atheists who are committed to Darwinian Materialism - the view that life, by chance, spontaneously came into being from non-life by some purely naturalistic means.
Thanks. I will check out that book. I can also recommend two books refuting atheism from a philosophical and scientific viewpoint entitled, “Stealing from God” by Frank Turek and “I Don’t have Enough Faith to Be and Atheist “ also by Frank Turek and Norman Geisler
Sorry for the misspelling - it should be, “I Don’t Have Enough Faih to Be An Atheist”.
Man, the author is awfully defensive and bitter.
What’s up with that?
Entanglement, I’ve conjectured may be the border (or barrier) from our present physical reality into another dimension but maybe even into the spirit world, just where we only begin to perceive some hint of it, maybe only mathematically,
Merely intellectual arrogance and ‘kicking against the goads’ same as this kind always does,
And who is nature’s God that is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence? Darwin was a scientist who believed in causality, but that doesn’t rule out the existence of God. Some might say you can’t be both a scientist and a Christian, yet God created a world that operates by scientific means. To Him there is no controversy.
I’ve not read the book Seek and Find recommended, but I can tell you that Frank Turek in “Stealing from God” is not that way. I don’t like it either when debaters use “snark” attitude when presenting their opposing view to each other. It’s not helpful to clear thinking, at least it seems that way to me.
Those of us given the gift of faith see the universe God has made through the eyes of that faith. It leads us to exult in the words of the psalm, “ O Lord, our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:9). We stand in awe of all He has created and that He allows us to experience in our brief life on His planet before we live an eternal life with Him in Heaven.
Re: “Darwin was a scientist who believed in causality, but that doesn’t rule out the existence of God. Some might say you can’t be both a scientist and a Christian, yet God created a world that operates by scientific means. To Him there is no controversy.”
I agree with you. It’s interesting that you bring up “causality” because I think it is the atheistic view that denies the law of causality when it comes to the origin of the universe.
The Big Bang definitely demonstrates that the universe, time, and space had a beginning - something came from nothing. If nothing existed prior to the Big Bang, no physical laws, no “natural” forces - how could the appearance of the universe be a “natural” event? Something had to cause the universe - if it indeed had a beginning. The theistic view that a Being, outside of time and space, of immense power, who designed and fine-tuned the universe so as to permit it’s very existence seems more plausible to me than that something came from nothing by nothing for nothing.
Yes, I’ve heard theories about how the universe could “spring from nothing”, but scientifically the Big Bang is open territory. Saying “God did it” is just as valid as any atheist’s theory in this case. The Vatican’s official view is that the Big Bang was “day 1” of creation.
