Why God is not what we believe
him to be
(God is unconscious or he is not
looking eg not omniscient)
First
I have to explain about the "double slit experiment". Start
with a very sensitive controller for a light or electron beam and
shine it towards 2 slits rather close together. Let the light that
comes through the slits shine on a back panel. The result you see is
as pattern of black and white bands indicative of a wave with some
photons falling together in the white band(eg adding together) while
in the dark band the particles have canceled each other out (eg
subtracting together). This is well known and even expected, but what
happens when we slow down the number of "light packets"
called photons (or single electrons if you are using an electron gun)
until you are firing just 1 electron or 1 photon? Well nothing
changes you still
see
a wave.
This begs the question what interfered with the single
photon/electron? Being a rather smart experimenter you ask the
question what slit did the photon/electron go through? So you place a
detector over 1 of the slits and magically that pattern of wavy lines
is gone and in it's place is a shotgun pattern consistent with a
random number of dots hitting the screen is in it's place.
After
a long boring discussion about the nature of consciousness and where
the hell it is or is not. We end up concluding that consciousness
caused the change in the experiment. This means that if a conscious
mind observes something in a quantum state of Bi-location (this being
in many places at once) the waveform collapses into a particular
particle
and
single
position.
So
if an all knowing deity is observing us and all things all events are
known to him etc. Then this deities consciousness must have the same
effect as if you or I were looking at it. Since the wave is not
collapsed
we can conclude that God is not watching or God is not
conscious.
