A Comparative Structural Analysis of Quantum Physics and Theology: Investigating Conceptual Convergence and Philosophical Implications

This article embarks on an exploration of the epistemological frontiers by juxtaposing quantum physics with theological paradigms, thereby fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue that unveils fundamental convergences between these domains. Its primary objective is to transcend superficial analogies and resolve entrenched misunderstandings through a rigorous analysis that appreciates the inherent complexities of both fields.By emphasizing the structural parallels present in both quantum phenomena and theological constructs—and by conscientiously avoiding the pitfalls of substantive reductionism—the article demonstrates that the abstract principles of quantum physics can serve not only as a methodological tool but also as a potent metaphor for interrogating core philosophical questions. In doing so, it challenges conventional frameworks and invites a reevaluation of the boundaries between science and metaphysics.Central to the discussion are a series of well-developed logical and metaphorical arguments that traverse key conceptual territories. These include the transition from possibility to actuality, the decisive influence of an external agent, and the irreducibility of layered phenomena. The article further integrates insights from information theory, process philosophy, inherent indeterminacy, and the notion of unity within multiplicity, thereby illustrating how universal patterns emerge within the causal and ontological architectures of both quantum physics and theology.Ultimately, while acknowledging the essential distinctions and maintaining clear conceptual boundaries, the article underscores the epistemological value of this comparative approach. It presents this synthesis as a promising platform for deepening our understanding of being and meaning and as a catalyst for future research that bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and theological reflection.
