Derb – Isn’t that a little bit of an oxymoron? I guess you qualify that by referring to a “committed religious believer.” Still I do kind of like the idea of a scientist who is convinced he’s come upon proof that the cosmos was designed by a higher power and yet at the same time steadfastly believes there is no God. There must be some good ironic quote about the “triumph of hope” to be used in such a context but I’m too exhausted to think what it might be.
