This book examines scientific and philosophical
foundations of the Copenhagen Interpretation of
quantum physics and judges it unfit for use in
worldview formulation, Christian theology, or
apologetics. Chapter 1 introduces the Copenhagen
Interpretation. Chapter 2 argues that core
components of the Copenhagen view conflict with
realism and biblical beliefs about God and world.
Chapter 3 examines applications of Copenhagen to
sociology, philosophy, and science. Topics include
feminism, race relations, finance, business
management, epistemology, logic, and cosmology.
Chapter 4 discusses applications in metaphysics and
theology, with emphasis on holism, free-will, and
divine action. Chapter 5 shows that the Copenhagen
view is unsuitable for use in Christian theology and
apologetics. First, it ensconces radical
indeterminism as an ontological element of quantum
theory. Second, there are scientific counter-
indicators to the Copenhagen view. Third,
entailments of the Copenhagen view run counter to
the Christian worldview. Chapter 6 suggests avenues
for continuing the science-theology dialogue in
light of the current state of quantum science.
