So, Tiggs, you would rather we credit this seeming instantaneous 'bi-location' of information to an Intelligent Designer than pursue a line of sicentific enquiry (albeit this line of enquiry is - as you say - unfalsifiable at present)?

How is that 'good science'? Or should we concede that some Prime Mover was at work and simply give up on trying to discover more?

Also, a small and very pedantic point. It's not another Universe. There is only one 'Universe', the other dimensions hypothesised in various theories are components of that Universe, just not observable/testable with our current knowledge/level of technology.

I still strongly believe that Bell's theorem in incomplete and that the current Quantum Interpretations are, for the most part, quackery and cargo cults. The only thing we can all agree on is that the Maths works.

It's not so much bi-location of information that points to an Intelligent Designer - rather the mechanism that must interpret, choose and co-ordinate every particle.

It's only one Universe in the Copenhagen view of the world. In the Many Worlds Interpretation, it's literally gazillions of branching Universes.

I agree that invoking an Intelligent Designer isn't Scientific. Then again - one unfalsifiable theory is roughly as good as another.

God is not the easiest person to nail down. Considering that he exists in dimensions that we can't fully grasp with our limited understanding - it's hard to say.


I love the way people just make up the rules as they go along.
