Physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), which have been confirmed by every experiment to date. Hence, the only way to avoid the Omega Point Theorem is to reject empirical science. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].) Further, the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in physics is also mathematically required by the aforesaid known physical laws. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.
I did read up on Tipler once, many moons ago.
The above statement is very wide of the truth. I came to the conclusion that he's an obsessive, and just doing what a lot of people do. Going for the shrinking gaps in scientific knowledge, and trying to say that god must have done it.
But of course that's been going on for thousands of years. People used to point at the Sun, or trees, or the ocean, and say that someone must have made them.
Nowadays, with such a lot of stuff understood by science, the gaps are getting smaller.
But one thing will always be there, for the loonies to exploit, and that's infinity.
Nobody understands infinity. So anything that involves infinity is always going to be fertile ground for the ''god did it'' crowd.
