Is Faith Reasonable?

I've read and seen some things regarding quantum physics that suggest everything stems from our thoughts. I'm not a quantum physicist but I am of the belief that of the many plausible outcomes that can be.. the outcome you concentrate on most will happen.

Maybe that's unreasonable to a lot of people. But it makes sense to me.

 

Errrrr... that's not quite it.  The observer effect in quantum physics doesn't state that our thoughts effect anything, but rather that our way of measuring things does.  To measure subatomic particles, we have to utilize something such as light to observe it, and that effects the outcomes.  The observer effect has nothing to do with thought, as it can occur with automated measurements as well.

 

I don't doubt what you are saying. I'm sure it's completely accurate in fact. I'm just basing my understanding off of the movie "What the Bleep do we know" and the book "The Secret". I believe in the power of thought because we can effect our environment in ways that are not explainable. Atleast according to the media I've seen.

 

For example, in what the bleep, they stated that a japanese guy did an experiment where he wrote different emotional words to express the feelings he had on several bottles of water. And when the water was looked at under a microscope, the structure of the water was different in each bottle.

I can't confirm the validity of this but would love to find someone that can.
