Rekastner: ...The quantum level is timeless (since it is beyond space and time). So in a way, eternity is what supports 'spacetime'. ...We like to think of spacetime objects as stronger than 'mere possibility'. But consider an atom: the electrons (indeed all the components) in the atom are 'mere possibility', and yet they are what give the atom its stability and its ability to serve as a building block of matter. Without the 'possibility' (quantum) aspect of electrons, they would crash into the nucleus and there would be no stable matter...Quantum possibility is the strongest thing in the world. So if we allow that quantum possibilities can't 'fit into' spacetime and therefore must transcend it (as even Niels Bohr reportedly acknowledged), there is certainly more to the world than mere spacetime.
> -Let me translate this from the theist perspective..-Something outside the boundaries of material space and time, something with endless possibility and potential beyond our comprehension supports, sustains, and creates our known reality of space and time in the material universe. -> Yes, this is hard to visualize. I offer some models and illustrations in my book that may help.
> -It is not hard to visualize at all. We just use different terminology. -Isa 40:28 28 ..a God to time indefinite.+ He does not tire out or grow weary.+ There is no searching out of his understanding.+-Psalms 90:2 Before the mountains themselves were born, Or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God.-While literally it translates to 'unknown time', it could also be translated as 'time unknown', or 'outside of time'. God does not grow weary or tire out, an infinite source of energy. I could also point out that the bible is rife with out teachings about God forming the universe and everything in it, as well as being directly responsible for bestowing the essential energy of life itself. (No, I am not talking about a soul or anything of the sort, I literally mean energy, and it is an energy that is explicitly described as returning to god at the moment of death, but separate from thought/memories/emotion/personality.) Call it the spark of life if you will. -Without the 'laws' or rules placed upon the material world, or "Without the 'possibility' (quantum) aspect of electrons, they would crash into the nucleus and there would be no stable matter".-People have been thinking like this since man first arrived on the seen, it just took a few centuries of denial, a shit ton of arrogance, and a lot of $20 words to make them feel comfortable talking about it in public again.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
