Are We Living In God's "Matrix"?

I was not misrepresenting that he acknowledged that we should not be ignoring the fact that some of the "world's most brilliant people" still believe in a personal god. He seemed to be implying that if one is to look closer, it's because the things these scientists are finding through their research is confirming those beliefs for them. NDT was acknowledging how amazing that is that with all our advancements in science, these scientists are still finding things that are confirming their belief in a "personal god", or with regard to the conference topic "intelligent design". I too find that fascinating.

First, this is from a Beyond Belief conference and was not specifically for ID. Are you lying? Or just making shit up to advance a cause?

I'm watching the video you posted. Did you watch it? NDT's discussion of famous scientists and their religious beliefs was to specifically draw attention to the fact that their religion did not inform their science. They believed in spite of their science and for other reasons.

In the portion of the NDT's talk dedicated to the idea of ID, he calls it 'stupid design'; some endorsement. He continues to invoke the idea of a god of the gaps.
