Abstract

This work argues that because Quantum Mechanics (QM) is superb at simulating natural, physical phenomena, so-called quantum-native phenomena, and that Quantum Natural Language Processing (QNLP), its child, is also quantum-native, God’s generative language of physical creation is native to a quantum world; therefore, it is now possible to postulate an argument for God’s creation of the world through language without requiring divine revelation. This argument is, in essence, an extension of the Augustinian argument – the baseline argument from mathematics and abstract objects – for the existence of God that accounts for contemporary advances in QM. Additionally, this work invites further research and investigation into applying category theory to model the theistic universe thereby allowing both modeling and simulations of the symbolic world.

"......上帝说"：迈向量子创世神学

这部著作认为，由于量子力学（QM）在模拟自然物理现象（即所谓的量子原生现象）方面非常出色，而量子自然语言处理（QNLP）作为其子孙也是量子原生的，因此上帝创造物理的生成语言是量子世界的原生语言；因此，现在有可能提出上帝通过语言创造世界的论据，而不需要神的启示。从本质上讲，这一论证是奥古斯丁论证--从数学和抽象对象出发的基线论证--对上帝存在的延伸，它解释了当代量子力学的进展。此外，这项工作还有助于进一步研究和探索如何应用范畴理论来模拟有神论宇宙，从而对符号世界进行建模和模拟。

期刊介绍： Open Theology is an international Open Access, peer-reviewed academic journal that welcomes contributions written in English addressing religion in its various forms and aspects: historical, theological, sociological, psychological, and other. The journal encompasses all major disciplines of Theology and Religious Studies, presenting doctrine, history, organization and everyday life of various types of religious groups and the relations between them. We publish articles from the field of Theology as well as Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology of Religion and also dialogue between Religion and Science. The Open Theology does not present views of any particular theological school nor of a particular religious organization. The contributions are written by researchers who represent different religious views. The authors present their research concerning the old religious traditions as well as new religious movements. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of Theology and Religious Studies. The journal seeks also to provide researchers, pastors and other interested persons with the fruits of academic studies.
