It is very easy to pick and choose those things from the Bible or <insert_favorite_holy_book> to support our own pet theories and viewpoints. It is also just as easy to selectively focus on findings of science to do the same thing.

You state that QM finds that we can have intermediate causal violations provided the final result is consistent. But these findings only occur under very limited circumstances of extremes in time, space, and energy. To selectively extrapolate that to grosser levels would be a fallacy.

Likewise with the view of time proceeding like IP network traffic, more-or-less in sequential order. If we use this to explain away phenomena on the order of 150-500ms, then we should also deny the possibility of processes that rely on exact timing on much smaller scales (such as your computer CPU). If time truly worked like IP network traffic, then (real) IP network traffic would be impossible.
