Apropos to this comic strip, if quantum mechanics were theistic rather than humanistic in its referents, it would make perfect sense.As it is, paradoxes arise if one takes a man-centered POV on the subject. I can never remember the limerick that expressed one such paradox, alas, but I can remember clearly somebody’s answer to it (the paradox involving whether an object exists if no human is watching it):Dear Sir, Your astonishment’s odd;I am always about in the Quad;And that’s why this treeWill continue to be,Since observed by Yours Faithfully, GOD!

There is, of course, the possibility that God is imaginary in the sense that the square root of minus one is imaginary.
