Synchronicity, God and Quantum Physics

Nearly everyone has experienced the kind of synchronicity that plays out like a coincidence - you're thinking about someone and she calls you, or you have an uneasy sense about a friend and then hear bad news about him. In quantum physics we learn about non-locality. Experiments in the quantum have shown that one particle seems to "know" what another is doing, even when no apparent signal has passed between them, and the scientific term for that phenomenon is non-locality. These scientific words also describe synchronicity!
Quantum physics shows us that we create our realities at the moment we observe them, so are we also creating these synchronous events? Yes, of course, absolutely we are creating them.
Why would we create such phenomena?
I think we do it to experience our connection with each other and with God or the Higher Power or the Universe - whatever word you use to describe some kind of deity, something that's bigger than just yourself. The magical experience of synchronicity reminds us that we are connected to each other and to God. It reminds us we are not alone.
