But even then, this evasion leads only to more questions that only begs the first question to begin with. I would suggest that the reader go on to the websites listed below and judge for themselves. Maybe too they should ponder the observation of G. K. Chesterton, the once popular English writer and satirist, who quipped something to the effect that the problem with those who lose their faith is not so much that they no longer believe, but rath er that they end up believing almost anything . However, we already know from quantum mechanics that an observer is necessary to turn quantum possibilities into actual observed reality. This is not conjecture.
Experiments prove that outcome changes, once an observer is in place.
There is therefore a sense that what the observer will do in the future defines what happens in the past. In fact, renowned types like Hawking and Tipler have written straightforwardly about how the future can control the past, even if it is mathematically impossible for us humans to travel back in time. Therefore, PAP and SAP should not be dismissed so easily. Perhaps pacetime leaps forth from God's desire that it should exist. Science without religion is lame.
