d*d....

Well said... I have a book that fits right in with this type of thinking. It's not about God, it's about what we can actually perceive. It is intelligent but extremely readable, it's called:

How The Universe Got it's Spots - Janna Levin.
(Diary of a finite time in a finite space)

Janna's professional title is "Advanced Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University"

I highly recommend this book, as it sheds new light on the latest theories using language common people (me) can understand. I feel the point is that we can actually perceive better (but no where near perfectly) than we think when we have advanced mathematics on our side.
