    Not sure which is worse ....

    This guy's air-headed rantings about God or Dawkins' foaming-at-the-mouth fundamentalism.

    The question of consciousness is an interesting one, and this guy seems to be out of his league. Everything covered in this interview is discussed by Harold Morowitz in an article from Psychology Today in 1980 (reprinted in The Mind's I).

    He doesn't mention the G word, but he does mention how many areas of physics have turned from reductionism, while the field of biology is beginning to embrace it, ala Dawkins.
