God is in your mind?

So you really think there isn't any credibility behind theories of a scientist who is as prestigious as roger Penrose? I'm not saying that just because someone is prestigious means they are right, but you know this guy is a lot smarter than you are, so how could you not think he has an idea of what he's talking about? I know this isn't a roger Penrose interview but he Is involved in this theory. I just think some people are a little quick to dismiss anything that disagrees with what you know at the moment, as if your knowledge couldn't change in the future.

i'm not disputing its "credibility"

i'm saying it's a "hypothesis" at best

you never really know with quantum mechanics cos it's not exactly "observable"

I could write a long-winded post about why I think it has little credibility or I could just say "no, I don't".
