Christians understand that the kinds of mysteries touched on by modern physics point to a spiritual reality consistent with biblical truth. For example, on October 4, 2022, the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to three scientists whose work has proven, and/or applied, a very strange phenomenon called “quantum entanglement”. The phenomenon is not only accepted by scientists, it is being applied to technology.
Elementary sub-atomic particles (the smallest quantized pockets of pure energy/vibration in the Universe), such as electrons or photons of light, if they are “entangled” remain “entangled” no matter how far apart they are. And if you manipulate the quantum state of one, then you automatically and immediately (instantaneously) also manipulate the other – even at great distance! Since the time that Albert Einstein and others discussed the theory, experiments have repeatedly confirmed this. In principle, you could place two entangled sub-atomic particles on opposite ends of the galaxy and still have this instantaneous phenomenon!
Science is indeed working on the very edge of the material universe, comprised as it is by sub-atomic particles, postulating more and more immaterial, intangible and incredible things! So let’s ask, why shouldn’t prayer work? Why shouldn’t we be able to petition God for people half-way around the world? Why shouldn’t we through prayer influence ourselves, others, our communities, and our nation to be more aligned “entangled” with God? And why shouldn’t proclaiming by faith the Spirit-infused Word of the Lord have power? Indeed, God’s truth pervades ALL, and scientific truths really are “entangled” with Christian spiritual truths!
