The
Holy Scriptures tell us that God is in all places at the same time. Quite
unexpectedly, recent discoveries in a relatively new field of science seem to
provide evidence that God is truly present everywhere all at once. We refer to
the young branch of physics called quantum mechanics (QM).
Quantum mechanics.
Quantum
mechanics, or quantum physics, which developed in the 1920s, is the study of
the smallest parts that make up matter and energy – such as protons, neutrons,
electrons, positrons, quarks, photons, neutrinos, and a host of other minuscule
entities. As a theoretical science, QM provides precise mathematical rules that
describe how the universe works on the smallest scales. It has proven so
successful in predicting results that entire industries have been built on QM
-- microelectronics, computers, lasers. Nonetheless, QM is still oftentimes
referred to as “weird science.”
Many
phenomena uncovered and predicted by quantum mechanics are so mind-boggling
they leave physicists flabbergasted. Danish physicist Niels Bohr, winner of the
1922 Nobel Prize, said: “Anyone who isn’t shocked by quantum physics has not
understood it.”30
As
his fellow Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman wrote, “it is often stated that of
all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. Some
say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it, in fact, is that
it is unquestionably correct.”31

Andreas Albrecht of the University
of California Davis
“Nonlocality.”
Quantum physicists have observed that subatomic particles perform
magical or, more appropriately, sci-fi-like acts. Fred Alan Wolf wrote in Space-Time and Beyond: “Particles don’t
behave as we might expect them to. For example, they vanish and reappear in
unexpected places in violation of energy conservation rules.” Particles make quantum
jumps -- that is, they go from one
place to another without traveling across the space between the two locations!33
How are they able to do that?
In the 1940s American-born British physicist David
Bohm, a friend and protégé of Einstein, observed in his work in plasma (gases
of high density electrons and positive ions) that, on the subatomic level, location
ceases to exist! Any point in space is equal to all other points in space. They
are conjoined, no matter how distantly separated they
may appear to be. In other words, any one quantum particle is present
everywhere in the universe. Physicists have since accepted the phenomenon and
call it “nonlocality.” Paul Davis of the University of Newcastle
upon Tyne
According to the Encarta
Encyclopedia: “The strong correlations observed in these experiments
suggest to many that we inhabit a nonlocal reality, meaning that what happens
here and now could depend upon something far away in space, time, or both.”35
Nonlocality demonstrates how God can be present in all points of the universe
at the same time.
David wondered: “Whither
shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I
ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou
art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold
me” (Ps 139:7-10).
Quantum
mechanics proves God is omnipresent.
