  Weird, or unsupported by any evidence or logical foundation? Religious beliefs are obviously very common, and not suprising for humans. That doesn't mean they have any scientific underpinning, and just because they are commonly believed does not mean they should be immune from (sensible) criticism.

    He's not criticizing religion; he's just calling it weird.

  I read it more about Robert Aumann believing in bible code[1] then that he is an Orthodox Jew. That said, I'm surprised to find Ray Kurzweil's and Elon Musk's ideas in the same group as bible code and water memory.
