Glenn1,
Well, it's been a long time since I played seriously with the quantum
mechanics once knew and taught, but it would make sense to me to suggest
that even if two identical systems were in identical quantum states, but
were also located in different Hubble volumes that did not overlap so that
mutual interaction was impossible, there would be no problem of their
maintaining their individual identities. The states Glenn3 and Glenn7 would
not mix.
Meanwhile back at the ranch of earlier issues, do you really want a God who
predetermines all things? Is the coercive power to predetermine all things a
quality to admire in a Deity?
