Physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point
cosmology is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) demonstrating that
sapient life (in the form of, e.g., immortal superintelligent
human-mind computer-uploads and artificial intelligences) is required
by the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics,
General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) to take control over all
matter in the universe, for said life to eventually force the collapse
of the universe, and for the computational resources of the universe
(in terms of both processor speed and memory storage) to diverge to
infinity as the universe collapses into a final singularity, termed
the Omega Point. Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic
component of the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard
Model Theory of Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all
the forces in physics, of which TOE is itself mathematically forced by
the aforesaid known physical laws.
Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively
peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics
and science journals, such as Reports on Progress in Physics (the
leading journal of the Institute of Physics, Britain's main
professional organization for physicists), Monthly Notices of the
Royal Astronomical Society (one of the world's leading astrophysics
journals), the International Journal of Theoretical Physics (a journal
that Nobel Prize in Physics winner Richard Feynman also published in),
and Physics Letters, among other journals.
Prof. Tipler's Ph.D. is in the field of Global General Relativity,
which is the field created by Profs. Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose
during the formulation of their Singularity Theorems in the 1960s.
Global General Relativity is General Relativity applied on the scale
of the entire universe as a whole, and is the most elite and rarefied
field of physics. Tipler is also an expert in quantum field theory
(i.e., Quantum Mechanics combined with special-relativistic particle
physics) and computer theory. Moreover, to here point out, said
Singularity Theorems are themselves completely valid proofs of God's
existence in the First Cause aspect of God.
The Omega Point final singularity has all the unique properties
(quiddities) claimed for God in the traditional religions. For much
more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it
uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described
in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses
the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:

As said, Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology is a mathematical
theorem per the aforementioned known laws of physics, of which have
been confirmed by every experiment to date. Hence, the only way to
avoid the Omega Point Theorem is to reject empirical science. As Prof.
Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem."
(From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of
Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].)
Indeed, in the Feynman path integral formulation of Quantum Mechanics
(i.e., sum-over-paths; sum-over-histories) a singularity is even more
inevitable than in the Penrose-Hawking-Geroch Singularity Theorems,
since the Singularity Theorems assume attractive gravity, whereas the
Feynman sum-over-histories get arbitrarily close to infinite
curvature. In other words, the multiverse has its own singularity.
Further, due to Liouville's Theorem in complex analysis, it doesn't
matter what form of physics one resorts to, as any
physically-realistic cosmology (e.g., one capable of incorporating
Quantum Mechanics, since the complex number field is intrinsic to the
mathematical formulations of Quantum Mechanics) must begin at an
initial singularity and end at a final singularity. (As Barrow and
Tipler wrote, "Initial and final cosmological curvature singularities
are required to avoid a universal action singularity." See John D.
Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, "Action principles in nature", Nature,
Vol. 331, No. 6151 [Jan. 7, 1988], pp. 31-34; see also Frank J.

Unfortunately, most modern physicists have been all too willing to
abandon the laws of physics if it produces results that they're
uncomfortable with, i.e., in reference to religion. It's the
antagonism for religion on the part of the scientific community which
greatly held up the acceptance of the Big Bang (for some 40 years),
due to said scientific community's displeasure with it confirming the
traditional theological position of *creatio ex nihilo*, and also
because no laws of physics can apply to the singularity itself: i.e.,
quite literally, the singularity is supernatural, in the sense that no
form of physics can apply to it, since physical values are at infinity
at the singularity, and so it is not possible to perform arithmetical
operations on them; and in the sense that the singularity is beyond
creation, as it is not a part of spacetime, but rather is the boundary
of space and time.
In Prof. Stephen Hawking's book The Grand Design (New York, NY: Bantam
Books) coauthored with physicist Dr. Leonard Mlodinow and published in
2010, Hawking uses the String Theory extension M-Theory to argue that
God's existence isn't necessary, although M-Theory has no
observational evidence confirming it.
With String Theory and other nonempirical physics, the physics
community is reverting back to the epistemological methodology of
Aristotelianism, which held to physical theories based upon *a priori*
philosophical ideals. One of the *a priori* ideals held by many
present-day physicists is that God cannot exist, and so if rejecting
the existence of God requires rejecting empirical science, then so be
it.
For details on this rejection of physical law by physicists if it
conflicts with their distaste for religion, see Sec. 5: "The Big
Bang", pp. 28-33 of my "Physics of God" article cited above.
The evolutionary psychological reason for the above-described bizarre
behavior of physicists rejecting physical law when it demonstrates
God's existence is due to the naturally-evolved Jaynesian gods of
old--i.e., the demons--seeking to distance people from genuine
knowledge of God so that the demons may instead falsely present
themselves as God. Among many permutations of this, it often manifests
as various forms of etatism: the state becomes God. Demons are quite
real, they however exist as naturally-evolved Minskian agent subset
programs operating on the wet-computer of the human brain. For more on
this, see my following article:
