Nice article and probably a very interesting book but I personally do not agree with a lot of the ideas expressed. It all depends on what you view as 'God'. (An English word created very recently). 'God'is the primary source of everything in exisistence, no matter what you believe there would have to be something which fits the bill.
My personal belief is that 'mind' or 'consciousness' predates material life and has since the beginning actively designed better means for it's expression. Science tells us that 'Evolution' does this but it is not clear on how exactly. In order for evolution to work, there needs to be some level of consciousness overseeing this and deciding what will work better next time.
In the beginning there was the word...thanks for your powerful food for thought...
