And I think they should have the humility to study liberation theology, study neo-orthodoxy, to study what John the 23rd achieved by the second Vatican Counsel. Surely, people should read the literature before they get aboard. The secrets of the Universe and God were thrown in quite frequently together. That was just normal political posturing to get money. What I think that demonstrates, however, is that there is a desire in the part of the wider community to have a rapproachment between science and spirituality.
People tend to believe physicists.
So if a physicist talks about God, they think we may have a synthesis. I think that that is true at a certain level in society. In the world of the elite, there is more attention paid to the words of these famous physicists. But even in my science community, we frankly don't know who these people are, and we don't care. They could disappear off the face of the Earth, and we know very well that nobody would miss them.
