I liked the article until the final section where his religious bias seemed to be showing. "We like to think we've arrived at a level of understanding inaccessible to lesser mortals [...] I believe that's why it's easier either to dismiss organised religion as unnecessary or deride it as being motivated by factors less worthy than the pure quest for truth." I don't think like that at all, and I definitely wouldn't like to think that. I solve problems that are interesting to me. I have a voracious appetite for learning new things because learning is interesting to me too, perhaps the most interesting thing in the world. I don't dismiss religion as unnecessary, I dismiss it because there's no scientific proof of God, and religion without a God seems pretty silly.
