Recenzii
This book presents a theodicy based on the Everettian multiverse interpretation of quantum mechanics and discusses implications across a broad specter of topics-including quantum resurrection! Quantum mechanics and multiverse theory are topics that need to be explored much more by theology/philosophy of religion, and this book is full of creative new ideas worth reflecting upon. Especially interesting are the proposals on mind and brain, determinism, and free will, which one can learn from and accept regardless of whether one accepts the existence of a multiverse.
William Hunt has done a superb job of developing the free will theory of David Deutsch (Fabric of Reality, 1997), and my own solution to the Problem of Evil (Physics of Christianity, 2007). I think the fact that Deutsch's free will theory was independently discovered by myself (Physics of Christianity, 2007), and the theodicy was independently discovered by Hunt (this book), provides strong evidence that the theodicy and free will theory are implied by the laws of physics and hence are correct.
