I define love as the flow of light and information.

I call that the internet, and it certainly has much more than love. Information and light do not always improve those who receive them. Can you show where you derived this definition for love? We cannot have a discussion if we use the same words to mean different things. Perhaps one of these definitions will do?
Quote:
verb (used with object)
15. to have love or affection for: All her pupils love her.
16. to have a profoundly tender, passionate affection for (another person).
17. to have a strong liking for; take great pleasure in

I believe that sin is a concept that only exists from the perspective of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and that it has no relevance to the tree of life which only produces pure love.

Sin, by definition, is knowingly acting against the will of God. (James 4:17) God is love, (1Jn 4:8) and the tree of life represents the pure love of God. (1Ne 11:21-22) Yet God has a will, and a purpose. Sin is to act against that purpose with knowledge that you are doing so. How then, can there be no relevance to the tree of life? Sin is what draws people away from it, and thus from God.

It is true that gravity does bend the fabric of space, and thus distort distances. It is true velocities approaching the speed of light noticeably change perception of those inside the inertial reference frame with speeds higher than about 0.8c. These do not lead me to conclude we cannot measure distances in space, or on earth.

Quantum entangled particles are entangled because they are created at the same time in a manner which requires certain properties be balanced. I have read of these experiments, and they do raise some interesting questions. Further diving into the world of experimental quantum mechanics, it has been observed the results of tests with quantum particles are highly dependent on the desires of the observer. That is, with all outcomes equally likely in theory, one outcome is favored when the observer desires it to be so.

Those are all wonderfully interesting topics. None of them address the real issue here. Agency. If we are Quote:
just one thing and we are temporarily literally the offspring from the ONE, so that we can have this experience: for what reason? Because we wanted to better understand ourself, and that's hard to do without creating and interacting with points of reference outside of ourself
then Agency is of no effect. We would be doing what we are doing for the experience of the greater whole, and no one could act against the will of God (the whole) because they ARE God, or at least one aspect of Him. This line of thinking leads to dark places which do not contain light, or truth. Only information.
