Quote:One of the most deeply rooted concepts in science and in our everyday life is causality; the idea that events in the present are caused by events in the past and, in turn, act as causes for what happens in the future. If an event A is a cause of an effect B, then B cannot be a cause of A. Now theoretical physicists from the University of Vienna and the Université Libre de Bruxelles have shown that in quantum mechanics it is possible to conceive situations in which a single event can be both, a cause and an effect of another one. The findings will be published this week in Nature Communications.

Interesting....thanks!
Even if the world works that way(which is a humungous If) I don't think it helps Chuck's position. The article claims that it is possible one event can be both the cause and effect of another event.
Chuck's model of the world on the quantum level requires one event to be its own cause. I don't believe that what Chuck is saying has even been hypothesized.

I don't know or care if God is determined or not.
