Regarding how physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, Christian theology:
The Omega Point is omniscient, having an infinite amount of information and knowing all that is logically possible to be known; it is omnipotent, having an infinite amount of energy and power; and it is omnipresent, consisting of all that exists. These three properties are the traditional quidditative definitions (i.e., haecceities) of God held by almost all of the world's leading religions. Hence, by definition, the Omega Point is God.
Okay, so first of all? Bullshit. Bull-fucking-shit. In fact, you've completely tipped your hand here in the most hilarious of ways, because christian theology has a whole hell of a lot more than just those three qualities in it, doesn't it? The christian god does things, creates life, smites people, Jesus-es it up, and none of that is contained within what you just said. What you've actually presented here, at best, precisely matches deist theology, not specifically christian theology, and in fact could be used as support for any other god claim out there, since all other gods tend to have the same attributes. The fact that you've made this enormous leap to claiming that it supports the christian god specifically shows that this isn't about following the evidence where it leads at all, but taking whatever evidence you think can support the conclusion you'd already come to before you'd even started searching.
Besides, taking your point as true, you claim you've got this binding scientific truth that points directly to the christian god, and yet somehow the majority of scientists are still atheists. One wonders why they don't agree with what you're claiming here; for all your pretensions to scientific rigor, this claim is not one that has been adopted into mainstream science, is it?
Maybe it's because it's all pseudoscience. Maybe that's it?
