Re: God Proven to Exist According to Mainline Physics

The only way to avoid the conclusion that the Omega Point exists is to reject the known laws of physics (i.e., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, general relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Standard Model of particle physics), and hence reject empirical science: as these physical laws have been confirmed by every experiment to date. That is, there exists no rational reason for thinking that the Omega Point Theory is incorrect, and indeed, one must engage in extreme irrationality in order to argue against the Omega Point Theory.

There is the minor point that General Relativity is known to be inconsistent with Quantum Mechanics. If Tipler's Omega Point theory depends on both being true then that inconsistency would be a rational reason to doubt Tipler's theory.
