Hi, AFTT47. Thank you for your welcome.
In partial answer to your inquiry, read over my previous posts on the first page of this thread which address some of these matters. However, for much more on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:

Additionally, in the below resource are different sections which contain some helpful notes and commentary by me pertaining to multimedia wherein Prof. Tipler explains the Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model TOE.

Regarding "the absurd God of the Bible", such pertains to the Hebrew Bible, particularly the Pentateuch. The God of the New Testament is an ultrarational God. For the details on that, see my above-cited "Physics of God" article, particularly Sec. 7.4.2: "God's Relation to the Old Testament", pp. 46-47 and Sec. 7.4.4: "The Soteriology of Existence", pp. 50-52.
