James Redford

I first heard of the New York City Junto, founded by Victor Niederhoffer, when doing research on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler, whose proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) on the existence of God per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals. He gave a January 1997 lecture for the Junto entitled "The Physics of Immortality: There is No Limit to Progress". Tipler is himself a classical liberal somewhat in the Hayekian mold.

In the audio of the December 3, 2015 debate for the Junto between Michael Malice and Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Malice a number of times mentions the 9/11 attacks as a justification for a government along a Hamiltonian line. For irrefragable physicochemical proof that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job by the US government--i.e., via the use of large quantities of thermite in the case of the collapse of the three destroyed World Trade Center towers--see pp. 75-84 of my following article:

My foregoing article pertains to Prof. Tipler's aforesaid proof of God's existence, termed the Omega Point cosmology, and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE) describing and unifying all the forces in physics. The article also addresses the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology.

I agree that Woods won the debate with Malice. I thank Woods for making the recording of it available.

Hi, Blankman. You wrote, "James, that is patent nonsense. But enjoy your delusion." The only way to avoid the Omega Point cosmology is to reject empirical science, since it is a mathematical theorem per the know laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), of which have been confirmed by every experiment conducted to date. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].) For much more on this, see my above-cited article entitled "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything".

Hi, Scottswan. You wrote, "I'd call him a virus." Somehow evolution congealed to spit out me: the product of a bruised and battered humanity screaming out for justice. I am an infectious memeplex of vital veridicity inserted into this sadomasochistic matrix of mass-death.

Hi, KokoTheTalkingApe. You wrote, "You are a moron." The only way to avoid the Omega Point cosmology is to reject empirical science, since it is a mathematical theorem per the know laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), of which have been confirmed by every experiment conducted to date. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].)

For the details on that, see my following article on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology, which has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals. It is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) demonstrating that sapient life (in the form of, e.g., immortal superintelligent human-mind computer-uploads and artificial intelligences) is required by the known laws of physics to take control over all matter in the universe, for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both processor speed and memory space) to diverge to infinity as the universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point. Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic component of the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in physics, of which TOE is itself mathematically forced by the aforesaid known physical laws.

The Omega Point final singularity has all the unique properties (quiddities) claimed for God in the traditional religions. My following article also addresses the societal implications of Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described in the New Testament:

Hi, Derek Beres. God has been proven to exist per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), of which have been confirmed by every experiment to date. For the details on that, see my following article on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology; and on the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is also mathematically forced by the aforesaid known physical laws. The Omega Point cosmology is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) per said laws of physics that the universe must end in the Omega Point: the final cosmological singularity and state of infinite computational capacity having all the unique properties traditionally claimed for God, and of which is a different aspect of the Big Bang initial singularity, i.e., the first cause. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.

Hi, Greg Tingey. You wrote,

""
ASSUMPTION based on no evidence.
"If BSF exists, then things matter" - got any evidence for that statement?

You provide false quotes of me. I do not even know what "BSF" is, nor did I write what you attribute to me.

However, I did say, "If God does not exist, then nothing matters. Yet if God does exist, then everything matters."

For the proof of that statement, see my originating post of this thread, wherein that statement is also contained. See also Sec. 8.1.1: "The Dysteleology of Life without God", pp. 53 ff. of my following article:

Hi, Giulio Prisco. Muhammad and Buddha cannot resurrect themselves from death, whereas the Messiah can.

Medieval Christianity correctly understood Islam to be a Christian heresy, since it is a syncretism between Judaism and Christianity. Islam, unlike Judaism, is a universalist religion; it recognizes Yeshua as the Messiah, but rejects that Yeshua was the incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity; and it seeks to preserve the primitivism of the Torah laws. Further, Muhammad himself was a warlord who converted people to Islam by force.

Few Jews contemplate the great extent that modern Judaism and Jewish culture have been Christianized. No one alive today actually believes in much of the Torah laws: Jews least of all. What makes most strains of Islam so objectionable to people who do not ascribe to them is the primitivism of its Torah-like religious laws combined with its universalism. If Jews still believed in the Torah laws and were universalists, then they would be every bit as objectionable, and for the same reason.

Buddha appears to have been something of a nihilist.

Which isn't to say that there isn't a common core among these religions/philosophies. It's just that Christianity is objectively correct so far as can be rationally known, and to the extent that other religions/philosophies contradict it, to that extent they are incorrect.

Thanks, Giulio Prisco.

What matters is the actual reality of people's actions and inner-life, not what terms people call themselves. However, it is better for people to know than to not know, that way they can make informed choices--choices which potentially affect them after their technological resurrection.

I understand that Christ is culture-bound in the sense that incarnating as a human meant that some specific human culture in particular had to be selected. But Christ calls us to transcend our human cultures.

Your work has the merit of helping to educate people on the coming radically-transformative technologies.

Hi, Giulio Prisco. I am aware of all your publicly-available writings on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler, just as I am aware of pretty much everyone's publicly-available writings on him. At least those writings which use Latin characters for his name (i.e., writings which do not transliterate his name into non-Latin characters).

Your closing paragraph above is unfortunate. I am sorry that you would not go so far.

The only reason I go so far in reference to Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology is because it is mathematically unavoidable per the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics. These three known laws of physics have been confirmed by every experiment conducted to date.

Regarding the "Christian mythology" and "provincial geography" of it which you wrote about: you are *so* not understanding reality.

Look, let me put it to you this way. Existence itself is a living, sapient being. Which is to say, we exist within that Person's body. Quite literally. That is not a metaphor or some poetic license.

We exist within the Ultimate Person's body. Really. That's neither allegory nor simile.

This Ultimate Person incarnates to us in many ways in order to ensure He/She/It can exist in the first place. Because existence wants to exist. Which is to say He/She/It wants to exist. And He/She/It always gets His/Her/Its way in the end (within the bounds of logic, which is why any pain whatsoever exists in the first place).

And so He/She/It is intrinsically Good, and cannot help but being so, because all that He/She/It wants is Its own ultimate pleasure, which means that He/She/It wishes to minimize pain/displeasure. Because everything is just It, and so any pain must be experienced by It. Which is why It is intrinsically Good, and cannot avoid being so. So It wishes to minimize pain and maximize pleasure, for Its own good.

Any pain in existence is simply something that could not logically be avoided, when considered from the totality of existence, sub specie aeternitatis.

Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology (which, again, is mathematically forced by the known laws of physics, of which have been confirmed by every experiment) has shown that the Cosmological Singularity intrinsically consists of a triune structure: the Big Bang singularity, the Multiversal singularity, and the Omega Point singularity--which are actually three distinct aspects of the same Singularity.

Tipler has also shown how it is possible for the Singularity to Incarnate as a Person in order to save the world (i.e., in order to save Itself).

Tipler has not claimed to have *proven* that a Person did indeed Incarnate, but rather that it is perfectly allowed according to the aforesaid known laws of physics. Tipler has proposed tests on particular relics which, if the relics are genuine, could verify whether a Person did indeed Incarnate. What the blood of these relics so far shows is that a genetically intersexed Person of parthenogenetic birth once strode across this wretched Earth of ours and was slaughtered. As well, Tipler also provides the explanation for the high-energy event which happened to this Person's death-rags, which to this high-technology date no one has been able to reproduce.

This "mytholog[ical]" Christic event is not mythological, per the evidence available at this time. Nor is it "provincial", since I reckon this Christological event would happen on every sapient species' planet in the universe, each in their own cultural way but with the transcendent Personage of Christ drawing them against their own cultures and toward the true transcendent culture of eternal truth. Because really it's just the Ultimate Body contorting Itself in a manner which allows It to exist in the first place.

In other words, the Ultimate Future determines the Ultimate Past.

For the details on all of this, see my following articles:

By the way, Mr. Prisco, I do very much thank you for your work in regards to transhumanism. Also, I thank you for your interview of Prof. Tipler. I hope I don't come off as too sharp in the above; it's just that I don't wish to waste time and space but rather get straight to the point. Please don't think that I hold any ill-regard toward you.

Hi, Khannea Suntzu. If God does not exist, then nothing matters. Yet if God does exist, then everything matters.

According to the known laws of physics, God does exist. But before getting to that matter, let me point out the logical implications of a position which maintains that God does not exist.

If God does not exist, then immortality is logically impossible, as any form of immortality necessarily entails the existence of the capital-G God, in the sense of an omniscient, omnipotent and personal being with infinite computational resources. This is mathematically unavoidable, for the reason that any finite state will eventually undergo the Eternal Return per the Quantum Recurrence Theorem. This is very easy to see by considering the simple example of two bits, which have only four possible states (i.e., 2^2): hence, once these four states have been exhausted, states will have to recur. What that means is that any finite state can only have a finite number of experiences (i.e., different states), because any finite state will eventually start to repeat.

Thus, immortality is logically inseparable from the existence of the capital-G God, since mathematically, immortality requires the existence of either an infinite computational state or a finite state which diverges to an infinite computational state (i.e., diverging to literal Godhead in all its fullness), thus allowing for states to never repeat and hence an infinite number of experiences.

Yet the only thing that could give existence and life meaning is immortality, since less than full immortality would mean than living beings' consciousnesses eventually come to an end.

As well, with the growth of mental resources, it would make the death all the more tragic. Just as the death of a human is far more tragic than the death of an amoeba, the death of a superhuman intelligence would be all the worse. For then what is dying is greater in amount: more memories, more feelings, more intellect.

Hence, if literal immortality does not exist, then it would be better that we die in the womb, and if not then than the sooner the better: for every day that we go on, new experiences and memories are added which will all come to naught--which will all be snuffed out. Better that a living thing die as bacteria than it die as a sapient intelligence were it not to be immortal: all the more given that the more primitive an intelligence, the less ability it would have to contemplate its fate.

So also, it wouldn't then matter if one were a serial-killer or a mass-murderer as opposed to a paragon of kindness, as in the end it would all equate to the same thing: eternal death. All life and anything anyone had worked for would all come to naught.

Thus, the only thing that could give existence and life meaning is if God exists, since then an infinite computational state would exist, allowing for finite states to never repeat as they diverge toward greater complexity, and hence allowing an infinite number of experiences. Only then could life and consciousness, instead of coming to naught, be able to grow and progress endlessly.

Physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology, which has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals, is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) demonstrating that sapient life (in the form of, e.g., immortal superintelligent human-mind computer-uploads and artificial intelligences) is required by the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) to take control over all matter in the universe, for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both processor speed and memory space) to diverge to infinity as the universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point. Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic component of the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in physics, of which TOE is itself mathematically forced by the aforesaid known physical laws.

The government has no business being involved in marriage as such at any rate. The reason governments like to get involved in this matter is because it is a form of animal husbandry, i.e., managing their herd of humans.

Nor do Christians have any business being employed by the government, since government is incompatible with Christianity. For the details on that, see my following article, which demonstrates the logically unavoidable anarchism of Jesus Christ's teachings as recorded in the New Testament (in addition to analyzing their context in relation to his actions, to the Tanakh, and to his apostles). It is logically complete on this subject, in the sense of its apodixis.

This article further provides an examination of the globalist political power-elite: history is given on their organizational structure and their methods of accumulating power; and analysis is given on where they're attempting to take the world, i.e., their self-termed New World Order world government and world religion.

The article furnishes documentation on what the globalist oligarchy's ultimate goal is. This ultimate goal of theirs most popularly goes by the name of transhumanism: immortality through technology. However, I explain in the article that the coming radical life-extension technologies create a fundamental dilemma for the oligarchs, which is why they must dominate world society before such technology becomes a reality. The details of that dilemma are explained in Sec. 8.2.2: "The Mark of the Beast" of the article.

Hi, Leslie McLemore II. Thank you for your story. I used to be an atheist, but I am now a theist. Regarding Christianity vis-à-vis science, see my following article on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE). The Omega Point cosmology demonstrates that the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) require that the universe end in the Omega Point: the final cosmological singularity and state of infinite informational capacity having all the unique properties traditionally claimed for God, and of which is a different aspect of the Big Bang initial singularity, i.e., the first cause. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.

James Redford, "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", Social Science Research Network (SSRN), Sept. 10, 2012 (orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2011), 186 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1974708 , https://archive.org/details/Th...

Standard physics has a great deal to say about God. The known laws of physics mathematically require that the universe end in the Omega Point: the final cosmological singularity and state of infinite informational capacity having all the unique properties traditionally claimed for God, and of which is a different aspect of the Big Bang initial singularity, i.e., the first cause.

And given an infinite amount of computational resources, recreating the exact quantum state of our present universe is trivial (per the Bekenstein Bound), requiring at most a mere 10^123 bits (the number which Roger Penrose calculated), or at most a mere 2^10^123 bits for every different quantum configuration of the universe logically possible (i.e., the powerset, of which the multiverse in its entirety at this point in universal history is a subset of this powerset). So the Omega Point will be able to resurrect us using merely an infinitesimally small amount of total computational resources: indeed, the multiversal resurrection will occur between 10^-10^10 and 10^-10^123 seconds before the Omega Point is reached, as the computational capacity of the universe at that stage will be great enough that doing so will require only a trivial amount of total computational resources.

For much more on the above, see my following article on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology, which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is also required by said known physical laws.

Hi, Nidalap. You wrote, "Ha! Wonder if similar words were heard in Soddom, you know right before it was blasted off the face of the planet........."

The crime of Sodom is that of attempted rape. As I pointed out above, the only thing God cares about is that we treat each other as we ourselves would like others to treat us.

Furthermore, Jesus over and over again stressed the seriousness of not living in secrecy: viz., Matthew 5:14-16; 10:26-31; Mark 4:21-23; Luke 8:16,17; 11:33-36; 12:1-7; John 8:12; 11:9,10; 12:44-48; 14:6.

Hi, S_O_T_A. You wrote,

As for your scriptural quotes, given your ludicrous twisting of the first one - which is about the light of God's truth, not the 'light' of mutilating your genitals in an act of empty desperation - I didn't bother with the rest.

Of course we are called upon to be the light of the world, as Jesus over and over again stressed the seriousness of not living in secrecy: viz., Matthew 5:14-16; 10:26-31; Mark 4:21-23; Luke 8:16,17; 11:33-36; 12:1-7; John 8:12; 11:9,10; 12:44-48; 14:6.

However, it is not bodies which Yeshua Ha'Mashiach seeks to save, but rather souls (i.e., the computer programs of people's minds, operating on the wet-computers of their brains). And Christ Himself unmistakably endorsed the concept of extreme body-modification, even as it concerned the genitals (Matthew 19:12, NKJV): "For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it."

Regarding your statement of "I don't think you have any idea who Jesus is, but it is not too late to find out": I was converted from atheism by a direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

You also wrote, "What God cares about is repentance and submission to Him; that we recognise we are eternally lost without His help to forgive sins." As I pointed out above, the only thing God cares about is that we treat each other as we ourselves would like others to treat us: and yes, that we come to repentance, since we have all violated the Golden Rule, in thought if not in action. For the details of this in Scripture, see my following article (which details physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything [TOE] correctly describing and unifying all the forces in physics), particularly Sec. 7.4.4: "The Soteriology of Existence", pp. 50-52 and Sec. 7.4.2: "God's Relation to the Old Testament", pp. 46-47:

You mean of the Hebrew Bible, particularly the Pentateuch. Your list of "jealous, retributive, paternalistic" are not features of God in the New Testament. For the details on that, see my following 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:

Regarding interviews, they are usually superficial when dealing with deep subjects. Pertaining to how physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described in the New Testament:

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.

The Omega Point final singularity is a different aspect of the Big Bang initial singularity, i.e., the first cause, a definition of God held by all the Abrahamic religions.

As well, as Stephen Hawking proved, the singularity is not in spacetime, but rather is the boundary of space and time (see S. W. Hawking and G. F. R. Ellis, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1973], pp. 217-221).

The Schmidt b-boundary has been shown to yield a topology in which the cosmological singularity is not Hausdorff separated from the points in spacetime, meaning that it is not possible to put an open set of points between the cosmological singularity and *any* point in spacetime proper. That is, the cosmological singularity has infinite nearness to every point in spacetime.

So the Omega Point is transcendent to, yet immanent in, space and time. Because the cosmological singularity exists outside of space and time, it is eternal, as time has no application to it.

Quite literally, the cosmological singularity is supernatural, in the sense that no form of physics can apply to it, since physical values are at infinity at the singularity, and so it is not possible to perform arithmetical operations on them; and in the sense that the singularity is beyond creation, as it is not a part of spacetime, but rather is the boundary of space and time.

And given an infinite amount of computational resources, per the Bekenstein Bound, recreating the exact quantum state of our present universe is trivial, requiring at most a mere 10^123 bits (the number which Roger Penrose calculated), or at most a mere 2^10^123 bits for every different quantum configuration of the universe logically possible (i.e., the powerset, of which the multiverse in its entirety at this point in universal history is a subset of this powerset). So the Omega Point will be able to resurrect us using merely an infinitesimally small amount of total computational resources: indeed, the multiversal resurrection will occur between 10^-10^10 and 10^-10^123 seconds before the Omega Point is reached, as the computational capacity of the universe at that stage will be great enough that doing so will require only a trivial amount of total computational resources.

Miracles are allowed by the known laws of physics using baryon annihilation, and its inverse, by way of electroweak quantum tunneling (which is allowed in the Standard Model of particle physics, as baryon number minus lepton number, B - L, is conserved) caused via the Principle of Least Action by the physical requirement that the Omega Point final cosmological singularity exists. If the miracles of Jesus Christ were necessary in order for the universe to evolve into the Omega Point, and if the known laws of physics are correct, then the probability of those miracles occurring is certain.

Additionally, the cosmological singularity consists of a three-aspect structure: the final singularity (i.e., the Omega Point), the all-presents singularity (which exists at the boundary of the multiverse), and the initial singularity (i.e., the beginning of the Big Bang). These three distinct aspects which perform different physical functions in bringing about and sustaining existence are actually one singularity which connects the entirety of the multiverse.

Christian theology is therefore preferentially selected by the known laws of physics due to the fundamentally triune structure of the cosmological singularity (which, again, has all the haecceities claimed for God in the major religions), which is deselective of all other major religions.

For much more on the above, and for many more details on how the Omega Point cosmology uniquely and precisely matches the cosmology described in the New Testament, see my aforecited "Physics of God" article.

Hi, CM Stewart. You said,

""
How do you know the original Bible referred to "water into wine" and not "bread into wine"? For that matter, how do you know the Bible is entirely factual? Just because the Bible or Quran or Talmud contains a scientifically sound statement doesn't mean the entire Bible or Quran or Talmud is factual.
""

The Bible is not "entirely factual". For the details on that, see my following article, particularly Sec. 7.4.2: "God's Relation to the Old Testament", pp. 46-47:

James Redford, "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", Social Science Research Network (SSRN), Sept. 10, 2012 (orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2011), 186 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1974708.

Hi, CM Stewart. In answer to your first question, yes, those are the types of miracles that I am referring to (though I think you mean turning water into wine, not bread into wine). In answer to your second question, it would take a book-length work to adequately address this subject, which fortunately has already been written and is available for free. For that, see my following article:

James Redford, "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", Social Science Research Network (SSRN), Sept. 10, 2012 (orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2011), 186 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1974708.

However, in outline the answer to your second question runs thus: It is ideas which are ultimately the most powerful shapers of sapient development. Yeshua Ha'Mashiach is the forerunner and paragon of our own theosis and defeat of death. Furthermore, as one sentence in my aforecited article puts it (see p. 103), "The First Coming was to imbue a necessary social ethic upon mankind in enough degree so that mankind could rise up and create societies leading to our present technological time, as well as to give mankind the promise of immortality and salvation." Again, for the fuller treatment of this issue, see my above article.

Elaborating a little bit here on my previous paragraph, existence is a strange loop (i.e., a self-excited circuit), and so one can veridically think of this as a far more technologically-evolved form of ourself sending back information into the past of existence in order to ensure that the more primitive versions of ourself carry-out the actions necessary in order for us to exist in the first place (cf. p. 111 of my aforementioned article).

Coming back to your first question, traditional Christian theology has maintained that God never violates natural law, as God, in His omniscience, knew in the beginning all that He wanted to achieve and so, in His omnipotence, He formed the laws of physics in order to achieve His goal. The idea that God would violate His own laws would mean that God is not omniscient. In traditional Christian theology, miracles do not violate natural law--rather, they are events which are so improbable that they can only be explained by the existence of God and His acting in the world. As Augustine of Hippo wrote concerning miracles [The City of God, Book 21, Ch. 8],

""
For we say that all portents are contrary to nature; but they are not so. For how is that contrary to nature which happens by the will of God, since the will of so mighty a Creator is certainly the nature of each created thing? A portent, therefore, happens not contrary to nature, but contrary to what we know as nature.
""

That is, traditional Christian theology has maintained that if we had the ultimate physical law, then we would be able to explain how God's existence and His miracles are possible [cf. Romans 1:19,20; Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologica, 1st Part, Question 2, Arts. 2-3]. According to the known laws of physics, we now have that ultimate physical law, the Omega Point/Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in physics, and so we are now able to explain God's existence and His miracles. Within the Omega Point cosmology, miracles are physically allowed via the Principle of Least Action, as the universe is logically forced by the known laws of physics (i.e., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) to evolve into the Omega Point final singularity, and so any event which is required in order for this evolutionary process to occur is certain to occur. Thus, a miracle within the known laws of physics is an event which is so improbable that it can only be rationally explained due to the end-state that said physical laws require the universe evolve to.

The English word miracle etymologically means "object of wonder" [John A. Simpson and Edmund S. C. Weiner (Eds.), The Oxford English Dictionary (Oxford, UK: Clarendon Press, 2nd ed., 1989)]. The Old Testament words translated as miracle are in the original Hebrew [James Strong, The Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (New York: Eaton & Mains, 1890)]: oth (‫אות‬), "sign", "token"; mopheth (‫מופת‬), "sign", "wonder"; and pala (‫פלא‬), "marvelous", "wondrous". The New Testament words translated as miracle are in the original Greek [op. cit.]: dunamis (δÔναμις), "power", "mighty work"; semeion (σημεØον), "sign"; and teras (τèρας), "wonder". So the meaning of these words in their Biblical context has nothing to do with violating natural law.

The seventh section therein contains an audio interview of Tipler. I also provide some helpful notes and commentary for some of these videos.
