Theology on Tap - Orange County: God and the Quantum

Prof. Andrew N. Jordan gives a brief introduction to quantum physics, and reflects on how ideas in quantum physics and information theory can enlighten our understanding of God. He argues that the main contribution quantum physics gives theological thought is new analogies about apparently contradictory aspects of the divine nature and the concept of information as the most spiritual physical thing.
