No it doesn't. It begins with an hypothesis not myths and parable.

This is a gross missunderstanding and over-application of quantum entenglement.
This about quantum theory is not correct. It does not say that when something is not viewed it is not there. It says that the properties of a QM entity only become determined when it interacts with something. That's not the same at all.. . . As Karl Popper implied, myth is pre-authenticated science. Modern science began, begins, by testing mythological predicates.
For instance, Popper, John Wheeler, and even more-so Eddington, concede that quantum physics is part-wise a result of logicians, philosophers, and scientists, all trying to refute, or authenticate, Bishop Berkeley's claim that when it ain't being viewed, a chair, simply ain't there. . . The claim seemed utterly preposterous in Berkeley's day. And yet he backed his myth up with the Bible, logic, and philosophy.
Today we know that Berkeley's myth was correct. Today it's plain science.
What I'm doing is a reverse of what Berkeley did. I'm using modern science to correct the Masoretic interpretation of the holy Hebrew script and scripture. I can show, using science, that ha-adam (regardless of whether he's pure myth, or a literal person) had a female body.
That's earth-shattering if true since it portends the approaching end of the civilization, Western, based on a severe crack in the original interpretation of the Torah.

See post 25. It's quite different.. . . I'll let you argue that with John Wheeler:
How does quantum mechanics today differ from what Bishop George Berkeley told us two centuries ago, "Esse est percipi", to be is to be perceived.

But a large and central part of the traditional Jewish interpretation of the text is the allowance of multiple interpretations...
I don't see how this could have any effect unless one's consider those myths to be true.
. . . Right. And Sir Karl Popper said the first scientific hypotheses came from myth.
For instance, the ancients worshiped the sun as god such that the centrality of the sun, heliocentrism, was already a part of myth.
. . . Every word I write is based on knowledge that they are true.

Wheeler is known for his Strong Anthropic Principle metaphysical view. This is not shared by most scientists today. The notion that a conscious observer affects QM states is not taken seriously by most people now. It is interaction that "collapses the wave function", not observation by a conscious mind.. . . I'll let you argue that with John Wheeler:
What philosophy suggested in times past, the central feature of quantum mechanics tells us today with impressive force: In some strange sense this is a participatory universe
John Wheeler.

No, he said the first hypotheses on the nature of reality were transmitted through myths and allegory. An explanation, isn't by default scientific in nature. Myths aren't scientific hypothesis since, according to Dr Popper himself, they aren't investigative inquiries neither are they falsifiable.
. . . Worshiping the sun as god gives the sun the central place in the solar system. If earth is the center of the solar system the mythological worship of the sun as central is falsified.
Popper is clear that science is an evolutionary adaptation of myth.
Which is why Jews and Christians are the inventors and fathers of modern science. Ninety-nine percent of Nobel Prizes are won by Jews and Christians.
It does for the Zohar (being a famous Jewish text) but not for the NT. You wouldn't demand that the Christians accept the Quran as "truth", would you? So too I don't see how you can demand that Jews accept the NT.. . . One would think then that traditional Judaism would have a more open mind to the multiple interpretations found throughout the Zohar or even the New Testament?

Science was never rational.....which means proportional to the states in which self exists. We already owned our radiation portion as a bio life in an atmospheric loss....gases owning the presence of light burning.. . . The mushroom cloud, or swirl, above your head as you write, is as devastating to rational dialogue as the mushroom cloud over Nagasaki was devastating to dandelions, peacocks, and parakeets.

How do we know that?We know from science, philosophy, theosophy, and history, that that's impossible. Ha-adam had a female body.
What, specifically, do you identify as the problem? The fact that human females tend on average to be slightly smaller than human males? Tend on average to have lower levels of testosterone? What, exactly?Since Western Civilization is based part-wise on the Masoretic mangling of the Bible, well, Houston, we have a serious problem.
