"The tangible reality of our everyday lives is really a kind of illusion, like a holographic image. Underlying it is a deeper order of existence, a vast and more primary level of reality that gives birth to all of the objects and appearances of our physical world in much the same way that a piece of holographic film gives birth to a hologram... A view not inconsistent with the Biblical presentation of the physical world being subordinate to the 'spiritual' world, which is the superior reality."
-- David Bohm, a University of London Physicist, protégé of Einstein's, and one of the most respected quantum physicist.
Because of their area of expertise if a physicist were asked to choose one out of the many deities known by man, the Triune God would be the most logical choice.
God is three in one (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). If God were merely a construct of this universe, such an idea would be a contradiction. God's transcendence explains the paradox. The true God is not restricted to this universe, (a universe which math and science proves should not exist). God created our dimension of time, and the scientific laws in this realm, so He is beyond all of this. Naturally God must operate in dimensions of space and time beyond ours. Our universe cannot contain Him (1 Kings 8:27).
According to string theory, (particle physics), there are ten dimensions. We can only observe and inhabit three of these dimensions, as well as time. (And time is more of an illusion.) We can only fully understand that which we can directly observe within our 3-dimensional realm, however studies in quantum physics shows that there is more that exists beyond what we can directly observe. Therefore, "by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" (Heb. 11:3).
Our belief in the Trinity (3 persons in one being) is not illogical. It's just further evidence that our God is God. The Trinity is unique to our faith. For the longest time the non-believers and those from multiple religious beliefs thought the Trinity did not make sense. Today, because of discoveries in science, those who study quantum physics would beg to differ. For them the concept of the Trinity would be the elephant in a room full of teachers from multiple religions. The true God could not be bound by three dimensions, as He created our realm. God must be extradimensional by nature.
God has left plenty of hints showing us how things work in His realm. Throughout the Bible we see this crazy idea of one somehow being made up of more than one; man becoming one with the woman, as they become one flesh. The church being made up of multiple members, but being one body, one bride for Christ. The Holy Spirit becoming one with our spirit. Jesus praying that we be one as He is one with God, "that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me" (John 17:21). And there are many more such examples in the Bible.
The point is, quantum physics provides an argument in favor of our God being the one true God. Every other god is less in comparison, for they are literally one-dimensional characters. Our God, the great I Am, is the three in one; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The true God would have to be beyond the understanding of three-dimensional beings, such as ourselves… However, the Triune God is not a contradiction to those trained in the higher sciences.
This Triune God is the reason for the existence of a universe that science says should not exist.
Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who proved who He is when He rose from the dead, showing that He is not bound by the laws of science, for He created them.
Worth reading for further evidence showing that Jesus Christ is more than a dead teacher of morality, and the Triune God is the only candidate for the one true God;
