And, to name a few more:
Professor Freeman Dyson*,*** (Theoretical physics, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study): I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension. God may be either a world-soul or a collection of world-souls. So I am thinking that atoms and humans and God may have minds that differ in degree but not in kind.
Professor Steven Bernasek (Solid state chemistry, Princeton University): I believe in the existence of God. His existence is apparent to me in everything around me, especially in my work as a scientist. On the other hand I cannot prove the existence of God the way I might prove or disprove a (scientific) hypothesis.
Sir John Eccles*** (Nobel Prize, neurochemistry): If I consider reality as I experience it, the primary experience I have is of my own existence as a self-conscious being, which I believe is God-created.
