This Second Edition of God Theory contains the material of the First Edition, expanded to include a wider view of God and Creation. In particular we add a discussion of Creationism vs. Evolution and show that Evolution is favored because God clearly shows that God's Laws of Physics are not violated. Whereas the direct creation of Mankind depicted in religious writings clearly violates Physical Laws and their consequent Biological Laws. The "morality" of Evolution and "Survival of the Fittest" is considered.
We also show that there is a "Tape of Fate" that contains all history in all detail for all time: past, present and future. God is fully aware of the entire tape at all times. Yet God can perform miracles and change history using Quantum "tweaks." Paradoxically God is aware, at all times, of the tweaks that he has made or will make.
God is also shown to be the ultimate Quantum Observer eliminating Quantum paradoxes and answering questions such as "Is there a sound if no one is there to listen?"
While God Theory is about Mankind's view of God we also consider God's view of Mankind and its possibly "unsettling" consequences.
We were led to this study of God from a scientific view by the development of a fundamental Theory of Everything, The Unified SuperStandard Model that we derived from a relatively simple set of axioms. The set of axioms led to a derivation of The Unified SuperStandard Model that unifies all matter and their forces in a direct manner. The derivation is presented in volumes 1 and 2 of the Second Edition of The Unified SuperStandard Model and the Megaverse. It is not necessary to be familiar with these books except to realize these volumes provide a derivation of a Theory of Everything from basic axioms in the manner of Euclid's derivation of Geometry. Their beginning point was a "supposed" entity that follows certain "simple" rules to define the axioms governing the Cosmos and thereby leads to the derivation of the physical Cosmos. (The Cosmos consists of the entirety of Creation.)
A remarkable aspect of the "entity" is its similarity to features that most people attribute to God. This book makes a "leap of faith" and assumes the Entity is God. We then take the universally agreed fundamental features of God and proceed to investigate the physical side of God's nature.
In a sense we have joined Physics and Theology.
Some remarkable results follow: 1) God needs the Cosmos; 2) the Cosmos exists forever into the past and the future; 3) the Godhead consists of at least three parts: the Unmoved Mover, the Cosmos, and the Connection between them--functionally a triune God; 4)The Cosmos and Connection parts of God have a God-like spark that is present in the particles of the Unified SuperStandard Model (or perhaps a similar Theory of Everything); 5) Predestination and Free Will are made consistent by the Quantum nature of the Cosmos and the Connection.
The eternal natures of the Cosmos and the Connection have important implications for Physics. In particular, they may require an infinite chain of aeons of universes in which our universe is but one link in the chain. They are consistent with a Megaverse containing universes strewn through a higher dimensional space, much like galaxies are strewn throughout our universe.
Dr. Blaha received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from The Rockefeller University (NY). He was a faculty member at a number of US universities including Yale University, Syracuse University, and Williams College, and an Associate of the Harvard University Physics Department from 1983 through 2003. He has done pioneering work in Physics, History, Economics, Sociology, Social Issues, Starship Design, Mathematics, Philosophy, Logic, Computer Science, and Cosmology.
