The Trapped Universe argument is an argument for the existence of God. It is not a direct proof for the existence of the “Abrahamic God” because no such proof exists for the existence of a God who has revealed his identity and properties in a subjective manner. However, as will be seen, this proof will aim to falsify Atheism and give strong support for a God with the same properties as the Abraham God.

We are trapped by, and cannot escape many of the physical laws and properties of the universe. For example, we are trapped and doomed by the laws of thermodynamics; for example the entire macroworld is trapped by the arrow of time and entropy.

Akin to this we are constrained from moving beyond the physical restraints imposed upon us by our existence in the universe. Because of this we are unable to learn much about the universe. For example, even today we are unable to measure the speed of light. It may very well be that there is a directionality to the speed of light – for example it might travel at c/2 in one direction and instantaneously in the other. There's a veritaseum video on this. The point is that because we are so constrained we cannot move beyond the limitations imposed upon us by the universe and it's laws.

Premise #1 means that human beings can never be gods, and can never create or operate physical universes.

The meaning of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is not that we cannot know both the position and velocity of a particle (or wave). And it is not even that we cannot measure it (for any physical model). It is that the information for both the position and velocity of a particle does not exist in our physical universe.

This premise alone implies there are other dimensions surrounding and supporting our physical universe. A spirit world, for lack of a better term – this is exactly what it would appear to be, some otherworldly dimension.

The resolution of the above becomes the driver for various takes on the many worlds interpretation, where some super-observer has access to both bits of information by taking it from two universes and perhaps collapsing one of them to continue the existence of a proposed main universe. All such takes are equivalent – the holographic principle, schumann encoding, time and space being emergent principles of quantum entanglement – all require a superobserver. The idea of Schroedinger's cat that some thing may be disentangled from the physical universe is actually an impossible hypothetical. It can never happen. It's like saying “if we presume there's no God, then there's no God”. It's self evidently useless. All particles are semi-entangled with each other because of their proximity at the big bang, and we require a superobsever due to the failures of local and non-local realism. There is, and this is premise #3, an observer which observes everything in the physical universe yet does not exist within the physical universe. The premise is that whatever this is, is the “operator” by analogy of the movie projector by analogy which is projecting the information layer into the quantum layer or into our physical universe.

This premise points out that there is an observer who exists in the alternate dimensions and is projecting information from those dimensions into ours.

If there is a super observer – if there is a “God” – then we do not know anything about him other than the fact that he must exist. However, one may make some assumptions – even based on iffs. If there is a creator, one may assume he is to a degree interested in his creation. If such a creator attempted to contact or communicate and so on with his creation there would be observable effects.

By a process of elimination – such as rejecting blatantly obvious fakes (ex. hanuman the half monkey god cannot be God because God created, and is not, a monkey, to any degree). Thus the premise is that if there is a God (and there is) – what we mean is, if there is a relatable God who we can communicate with or interact with, it must and could only be a God similar to the Abrahamic God. The Biblical account bears the only sensible interpretation of such a God. It's not Odin – for example – whose ancestor was born from a blue cow cut out of a glacier. That's because all of those things were created by God and themselves cannot be God.

Since God does not exist in any way relatable in our physical universe and has no shape or form or properties of any kind which are relatable, and since this is the same God described in the Hebrew scriptures, we assume the Bible is indeed what it claims to be – a message from God to mankind. Therefore we assume that God has been able to somehow ensure that his message will get through to us relatively unscathed – whether or not we accept it. Thus we present the Bible – the Hebrew Scriptures – as truth, and as such would aim to study and follow them accordingly.
