Quantum Indeterminacy and the Mind of God

If events are random then they will behave probabilistically like random.

If they are ordered, could we determine the mind of god by examining that ordered imposition on random material?

Would that then imply that each given particle is different depending on its divine meaning? Like say god wants to stop that bullet with a miracle, the manifestation of that will would be the macroscopic summation of the indeterminate behavior of that bullet’s subatomic partials in such a manner as its behavior is both a break from the typical laws of physics and an extreme violation of random distribution.

For the record I do not believe in this type of god because the evidence absolutely does not support it.

So, if that type of manipulation occurs, the study of a given particle in an effort to understand all particles is futile. So how do we determine if that is the case? We can’t study masses looking for random, random could be composed of order plus divine will. Indeed, no amount of data is sufficient to show one way or the other.

It’s like the brain in the jar problem. So, in my opinion even if there is a god we should act like there isn’t.

This is reminiscent of Kant’s idea that the past is ultimately not an indicator of the future.
