Quantum Christian Realism: How Quantum Mechanics Underwrites and Realizes Classical Christian Theism

by Rocco Boni

In the insightful new work, independent scholar and researcher Rocco Boni shows how quantum physics sheds light on the mechanics of Christianity's most central doctrines—-e.g, divine action (special providence, general providence), divine hiddenness, free will, soul-to-brain interfaction, God-to-world interfaction, creation continua, creation ex-nihilo, etc. As it turns out, a theistic universe of the Christian sort requires a very specific, very bizarre, highly unlikely set of physical laws and processes, and our universe just happens to possess these in the exact way necessary to realize the Divine agenda. The ontological requisites necessary for such a universe are beyond improbable and strongly suggest that the universe was designed and created by the God of Judeo-Christianity. Remarkably, the universe is designed so that an immaterial, disembodied, transcendent Mind can act in the world while remaining completely hidden to science thus preserving humanity's epistemic freedom and freedom of will. Theologians (and Scripture) have long said that God hides, but now we have evidence. We may not know when or why God acts, but we can now know "how" and "wherefrom" he acts. God is truly an ingenious creator.
