1) Modern physics, Copenhagen interpretation, in particular, states that particles collapse into an ordered state only if an observer observes it; particles in an infinite superposition of states collapse into a singular state, i.e. the universe we observe and live in.
2)The tests were done by human subjects based on human observations.
3) Human beings cannot predate the universe itself, neither can anything that exist (except God) in this universe.
4) It appears, then, there is a Prime Observer that exists by necessity to bring about order to an actual singular universe which we live in out of infinite possible universes.
5) Therefore, this interpretation of quantum mechanics coincides with the belief of a creator God in Christian faith.
Possible Objection: It appears that the microcosmic universe (smallest particles) becomes ordered only when it is observed. If God is omnipresent and omniscient, he observed everything already. The experiment we perceived would not have been possible. Therefore, it seems that quantum mechanics and the belief in the existence of God is incompatible.
Reply: Theologically, this can only makes sense when the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity is in play. God the Father may be omniscient insofar as He is outside of time and space, since everything has played out already at the end of time; He does not need to be in this universe to be omniscient or omnipresent. Jesus and the Holy Spirit, however, may not know; as God lowered Himself in the form of Christ the Man, He may have humbled himself in his knowledge as long as He is present with us in our relative timeline. After all, according to the Holy Scripture, Jesus did not know the day of the apocalypse (Mark 13:32). This is compatible, it appears, with the belief that God has given us the freedom to bring about our own future via the freedom of will. Therefore, it appears that, in light of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, quantum mechanics and the existence of God is compatible.
