Quantum physics helps us understand why it might be that God doesn’t stop bad things from happening

    Some points on the physics:
    1) Spacetime only has one time dimension, so not all spatial configurations are realized simultaneously (in a classical sense).
    2) In quantum theory all possible configurations do contribute to the probability of an observed future, but that's to do with quantum and not spacetime.
    3) The "10 dimensions" are a property of string theory, not quantum theory.
    4) However when you get to 3:00 you make a valid statement that doesn't require the previous part of the video, but the fact that God doesn't experience duration is an aspect of ancient Christian theology. St. John Damascene and Aristotle deduced this without quantum theory.
    However, to make a non-physics point that people often overlook. If the Christian God exists, he is a God that will fix what he has broken and ensure not only justice but mercy. That's contained in the concept, so it doesn't make sense to criticize the concept by saying that in this temporal domain we observe apparent suffering. The gospel is that we can give everything and sacrifice everything and God will restore us. It's not that we should bury our money rather than invest it fully. Take risks in this life, carry a cross, and suffer. Criticisms that God would not want people to have suffering and challenges are completely beside the point. This life would not be necessary if not for the challenges.
    Anyone reading this - please visit an Orthodox Church and do not base your faith on flights of fancy and speculative reasoning.

      Thank you so much for this clarification! I hate that I used quantum instead of string... ugh. This is how you can see I'm a complete amateur/fan when it comes to science.
