You did nothing of the sort. As has already been said, you asserted it.
Just because you explain something in a manner that makes sense to you, doesn't mean it actually does make sense. Or even explains anything, for that matter.
Quote:In quantum physics, you have a smallest possible unit of time, Plank time or tP. Yet no efficient cause links one tP to the next. They just happen to be ‘next’ to one another. Either relationship between one tP and another is random OR a transcendent order links one tP to all others.
Argument from ignorance.

Sure, because 'magic' explains everything.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
