I have been following this for a while and this has garnered considerable attention lately (even InstaPundit linked to it)

There are two ways to look at this. One is that our physical Universe is as it seems it is. I consider this to be the equivalent of Newtonian Physics

The second is that we PERCEIVE the Universe a certain way (and it is perfectly fine to do so) but the actual laws of the Universe, the state of the Universe and existence of the Universe is a lot more complicated that a “casual” observer would perceive. This is the equivalent (in a metaphor) to Einstienian Physics

For those of us that believe in God, this does not (IMHO) preclude God. We all know that God has mysteries that us humans cannot comprehend. Why can this not be one of them.

I agree. I think that, conceptually at least, this actually fits with a God Creator idea very well....if not better.

It even allows for the concepts of spirits and souls reaching another level of existence...at least in broad terms.

At any rate, it is fascinating as a brain exercise.

I'm reminded of that saying by Feynman, that those who think quantum mechanics makes sense don't really understand it (or something like that).
