Quantum entanglement offers quite a bit of evidence for God to me.
“Darwinian atheists” he says. Darwin wasn’t an atheist.
It’s a shame he isn’t an atheist cosmetologist; that way he would at least have a better foundation to use in his work, if not in his beliefs.
“First, no one cares what Dr. Albrecht finds “deeply unsatisfying”; he can find himself another universe if he likes, and take his fads in physics with him.”
My thoughts exactly. Why are atheists so d@mned militant about `correcting’ the beliefs of religious people?
There are two prominent scientists in the fields of cosmology and quantum mechanics who give people of faith plenty of reason for hope. They are cosmologist Paul Davies and quantum mechanics expert Lothar Schafer.

Dawkins already wrote a book with the same thesis in “The Grand Delusion”.
Man, the author is awfully defensive and bitter.
What’s up with that?
Those of us given the gift of faith see the universe God has made through the eyes of that faith. It leads us to exult in the words of the psalm, “ O Lord, our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:9). We stand in awe of all He has created and that He allows us to experience in our brief life on His planet before we live an eternal life with Him in Heaven.
I require no faith in science or scientists to accept experimental results observed in nature. I do find it troubling that so many scientists today have rejected the scientific method for a politically satisfying theory of climate change.
I require no proof of God. That is the realm of faith. I do feel a very deep sense of wonder as God slowly reveals his subtle and beautiful universe to us.
That said, the fact that the best scientific evidence we have suggests that the universe, everything, had a beginning a long but comprehensible time ago suggests creation to me.
The question for Christian believers for about 800 years had been not whether God exists, but how:
1) outside the world, as a “prime mover” who periodically steps in the material world, as in the Incarnation and the Holy Spirit
2) intertwined with the world, not pantheistically, but distinct AND embedded, including of course the Incarnation and the ever present Holy Spirit

It has always seemed counterintuitive and hubristic for anyone who has deeply studied the physical laws and mathematic certainties which govern the universe to not recognize the hand of a law giver and mathematician behind it all. This was not the case with the epic geniuses who invented modern physics at the beginning of the twentieth century. But as that century wore on the inferiors who tweaked and played with the fringes of the science have mostly been atheists. Forests versus trees.
Imagine his surprise when he finds out the Big Bang theory was started by a Catholic priest. /s
