“The analogy between Shannon and codes in biology isn't something that sprang from my belief in God… except maybe on some deeper or more transcendent level.”

“Are we biology or God or something higher? I know my heart beats and I listen to it. The beat is biology, but what is the song?”

“My greater simplicity came from a deeper level than the labyrinth of the brain.”

“In any spirit that isn't deformed there is the belief in God. In any spirit that is not deformed there isn't the belief in a particular God.”

“God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.”
