. What does this mean in red ? A probability amplitude can never "supervise" for the simple reason that ....In quantum mechanics, a probability amplitude is a complex-valued mathematical function that describes an uncertain or unknown quantity. The amplitude "describes" (explains), it does not "supervise". There is a zero probability that the first man was assembled within science by a supervising probability amplitude for the simple reason that such an amplitude does not exist within science.

It would appear that you attempt to equate a god concept = the "supervisor" of the probability amplitude. Perhaps the first man was assembled by a god that supervised the amplitude, but such a possibility is outside the field of study known as science. Within field of study called science, probability amplitudes never supervise anything.

I would agree with you that it is possible to have a scientific theory using quantum mechanics for creation of things (the big bang theory of universe being one example), where I disagree is your attempt to conclude that such a process must have a "supervisor" = god. Science does not need god, god needs science.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
