No, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle says that the mass-energy of an electron that exists for a short time is uncertain. See Bruce Schumm, Deep Down...

There is a lot to think about in this final paragraph, and in the rest of the post. I'll need some time to work through it. It may be a few days befor...

The question is why the observed quantities of the macro world are unaffected by the unpredictability of quantum particles.

Hmmmm. As someone who converted from an atheistic, human-centered, and essentially selfish worldview to a God-centered life of service to God and my f...

I can go some distance down that road. The critical point in this discussion is that there is no knowledge of cause or reason for the predictable beha...

From the original post: In a later post I supported those statements with references to John Wheeler and Kenneth Ford. I could add more references, bu...

I am not attacking scientific knowledge. Not in the least. I work in the applied sciences, as an engineer. I make my living putting to use what the th...

Science is in essence an attempt to comprehend reality in terms of natural causes and effects. The underlying purpose is to achieve full comprehension...

Statistics (as you point out) show some understanding of particle events in the aggregate. The obvious question is, "What makes the individual particl...

I don't see how the clause following "so" is supported by the preceding clause.

The absence of causality does not refute materialism. It refutes the proposition that knowledge of natural causes refutes theism.

True. That's why I said "the strength of scientific materialism is in the experimental demonstration of cause and effect." The appeal to science for s...

The context is a discussion of scientific experiment, which by definition seeks natural causes for natural events. No natural cause has been found for...

The strength of scientific materialism is in the experimental demonstration of cause and effect. Without demonstration of cause and effect, there is o...

Yes, it completely fails to explain why the aggregate of particles behaves predictably even though not one of the individual particles behaves predict...

The assertion of "orthodox" quantum mechanics is fundamental probability: the laws of physics are statistical only; there is no cause for the outcome ...

The question is not whether a hammer can be used to drive a nail. The question is what causes the nail to move when it is struck by the hammer. Quantu...

<<<< However, Hume’s objection is to claim that this “balancing” is not possible if God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. If God is conce...
