Subatomic Darwinism

blamanj writes "In the beginning was Darwinism, then there arose Social Darwinism, now physicists are proposing Quantum Darwinism. According to the Nature article: "If, as quantum mechanics says, observing the world tends to change it, how is it that we can agree on anything at all? Why doesn't each person leave a slightly different version of the world for the next person to find? Because, say the researchers, certain special states of a system are promoted above others by a quantum form of natural selection, which they call quantum darwinism. Information about these states proliferates and gets imprinted on the environment. So observers coming along and looking at the environment in order to get a picture of the world tend to see the same 'preferred' states."."

Ironically, you are more guilty of the mindset you're making fun of here than any real, live religious people. The history of religion and science is complex, but it serves our modern (scientifically biased) prejudices to believe simplistic myths like the one you've apparently swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

But you can prove the bible

If you believe prophesy is hard, predicting random events in the future is impossible and only God could do it, then the bible is proven.
