Is quantum mechanics creationism, and not science?

TL;DR

This paper critically examines quantum mechanics, arguing that it equates to creationism by replacing physical causes with mathematical constructs, challenging its status as empirical science.

Contribution

It clarifies Bohr's stance on causality, distinguishes between physical causes and mathematical models, and claims most quantum mechanics models are akin to creationism.

Findings

Quantum mechanics often replaces physical causes with mathematical objects.

Bohr's interpretation does not align with the Copenhagen view regarding causality.

Most quantum models are argued to be creationist in nature.

Abstract

I revisit the reply of Bohr to Einstein. Bohr's assertion that there are no causes in atomic scale systems is, as a closer analysis reveals, not in line with the Copenhagen interpretation since it would contain a statement about reality. What Bohr should have written is that there are no causes in mathematics, which is universally acknowledged. The law of causality requires physical effects to be due to physical causes. For this reason any theoretical model which replaces physical causes by mathematical objects is creationism, that is, it creates physical objects out of mathematical elements. I show that this is the case for most of quantum mechanics.
