If God was Schrodinger's Cat
March 21, 2015 at 8:48 pm
Well,this might take a bit of learning and exploring for some of you, but being that we are often discussing the existence of God and science and logic and thought, etc., I thought I might pose this question: If God was Schroedinger's cat, would God be alive or dead? My apologies to any cat loving atheists in the forum...

For all of you...it should not require any thinking outside the box....

Define god.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The name "Schrodinger's cat" was referring to the name of the thought experiment he devised in 1935, not the cat itself. But I can go with how you understood it. Using your understanding, he can be the dude's cat (Schrodinger's) and he can be the cat at the same time (the cat's name being God). In one case we can understand what is being said by the statement as expressing possession of an object, and on the other hand it can be understood as expressing the object in the box. Other more philosophically minded people can tweak it here...(without applying fire and brimstone please). Is there a quantum physicist out there? He/she could ride shotgun with the philosopher (so as to shoot him/her if the explanation is wrong).

--don't take this game to seriously...it is just for fun.

Oh the irony, you want us to "think outside the box," by putting
God in your box, And look at him through only the lenses of your specific paradox..

I'm glad you stayed in the box. What else do you see in there? Is it dark and scary? Stay away from the vial of poison.

By observing god we would collapse the wave function and god would cease to exist.

I'm well aware of Schroedinger's cat. I simply using the opportunity to make a point by fucking with you.
