Dirac's God “The Super-Mathematician”
- Paul Ardrien Maurice Dirac [1902-1984] Quantum Physicist, Nobel Prize, a "belligerent atheist":
"It seems to be one of the fundamental features of nature that fundamental physical laws are described in terms of a mathematical theory of great beauty and power, needing quite a high standard of math for one to understand it. You may wonder: Why is nature constructed along these lines? One can only answer that our present knowledge seems to show that nature is so constructed. We simply have to accept it. One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced math in constructing the universe."
