The philosophy of superdeterminism is based on a single scientific fact about the universe, namely that cause and effect (and probabilistic causation) in physics are not real. In 2020, accomplished Swedish theoretical physicist, Dr. Johan Hansson proved by applying Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity to what has already been scientifically verified about spin measurement correlations observed in entangled particle pairs that cause and effect (and probabilistic causation) in physics are not real. The argument from divine hiddenness asserts that a perfectly loving God would ensure all people have a fair opportunity to believe in him. Because there are genuine seekers who find no compelling evidence of the existence of God, then the argument concludes that such a God does not exist. The argument from divine hiddenness is built on the premise that humans possess free will on Earth. Without it, a core component of the argument—the idea of a freely chosen relationship with God would not make sense. Because free will on Earth does not exist under superdeterminism, then human actions on Earth, including the "choice" to believe or not believe, are not truly free choices. There is no longer a need for God to provide evidence to ensure a fair and open opportunity to choose him, because a genuine choice on Earth is impossible in the first place. However, the philosophy of superdeterminism allows for God to make final judgment on human salvation based on His metaphysical knowledge of our freely willed decisions before the universe was created. This allows God to judge the salvation of the “non-resistant non-believer” based on God’s metaphysical knowledge of their hypothetical freely willed decisions with complete knowledge of God’s existence and a personal relationship with God.
