God returns favour[edit]
I have heard through the grapevine that a companion volume to Davies’ “The Mind of God” is being published, and the two volumes taken together will answer everything. The second is called “The Mind of Paul Davies”, and is rather longer and more complicated than the first, and is written, interestingly enough, by the author of the earlier work.

Hawking Misquote[edit]
Hawking's A Brief History of Time seems to be misleadingly misquoted in the first paragraph of the article.
The quote should be "However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just by a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we would know the mind of God."
(Notice that it is the answer to the "why" question, not the theory of everything, which Hawking is saying would be the ultimate triumph of human reason.)
Never having seen the Davies book, I don't know whether the misquote / misinterpretation comes from Davies or from the authors of the article. For that reason, I will hold off on editing the article for now.University of Saturn (talk) 16:31, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
