Lest you accuse him of latching on to any single God/god, don’t: He’s pantheistic.
To listen to theoretical physicists working on String Theory, Superstring and M-theory discuss not only the wonders of the universe, but expanded consciousness and mysticism is amazing. To simply write off the universe as a cold dark hole is to diminish your own intellect and sense of wonder.[/quote]
It might be amazing. But it doesn’t have anything to do with the supernatural or with god (unless you define god as the natural forces within the universe). Mysticism doesn’t necessarily (and doesn’t in this case) mean supernatural.
I think that to grab at any explanation that might explain your existence in a way that satisfies you, rather than looking at the evidence, diminishes your intellect. And my sense of wonder is all filled up by this life, and doesn’t really need god nor a universe that cares.
