摘要
Interpretations of quantum physics are shown to presuppose the reality of consciousness. But if a minimal realism about the external world is true, then the consciousness presupposed by quantum reality cannot be only that of the scientific observer, cannot be only 'local' but must be 'global'. Global consciousness is argued to have all and only the essential properties of God. Quantum reality depends on God's consciousness and the physical world depends on quantum reality. Therefore, the physical world depends on God's consciousness.
