Dr. Craig, I have a question concerning quantum unitarity and the ascension of Christ.

I'm not sure if you would know, but if you

don't, unitarity shows that the total summation of all probabilities in a quantum system is always

equal to one. This ensures that information cannot leave this universe, which challenges cosmological theories

like Lee Smolin's theory of universes forming through black holes, which implies that the

information of the core that collapsed into a black hole could escape into the baby universe.

Problem is, it seems that this conflicts

with the ascension where Christ's body, including the information of his body, left this universe.

It seems this violates unitarity. I have a few solutions, though none seem fully satisfying. One, the body

didn't really leave. It remains in this reality. Rather, it's sort of disintegrated,

and Christ rejoins with it at the parusia. This seems to me the most likely one.

Two, it is still here.

The universe is not completely a closed system.

Rather, it is part of a larger closed system like heaven.

This seems a bit ad hoc.

If you have any solutions, please tell me. Sincerely, Diego from Nigeria.

You are quite right to reject the two alternatives, you mentioned Diego. But there is a much more obvious explanation. The ascension of Jesus was a miracle.

That is to say, God as a transcendent being, can do things which are beyond the capacities of nature to accomplish.

So your question, while unusual, is really just an instance of the old question of the

possibility of miracles. The question is not whether miracles like Jesus' ascension are possible

on a naturalistic worldview, according to which nature is all that exists.

The question is whether miracles are possible on a theistic worldview,
