A fine thinker passes away, I've got one of his books "Quantum Gods: Creation, Chaos and the Search for Cosmic Consciousness" in which he explains the incompatability of new age beliefs with actual hard physics.
He never had the high profile that other campaigning atheists have, maybe because he wasn't interested in telling them they are wrong but just in teaching them what's really going on. And there isn't any point in confrontation really as you can't reason somebody out of something they weren't reasoned into, and the cleverer people are the more wiggle room they'll find, but it's interesting to read nonetheless. Knowing what is technically possible will help form an opinion if you are still sitting on the philosophical fence.
