Did the late Bruce Murray convert to Christianity?

I am posting this in the "Physical Sciences" section, because Dr. Murray, co-founder of the Planetary Society, was a physicist.

I was watching an episode (Season 8, Episode 8) of the Closer to Truth series, where Dr. Robert Kuhn was interviewing Dr. Murray, and he indicated in that interview that he was a theist, a "belief that he shared".

Dr. Murray died within a few years of the interview from Alzheimer's disease; this interview was in stark contrast to the interviews that he gave to Dr. Kuhn 10 years earlier.

Anyone know of Dr. Murray's religious beliefs?

His bio on Wiki does not address the issue but it is possible.  You know that Alzheimer's turns the brain to mush.  What better place for theism to take root?

Here are Dr. Murray's interviews:

It's the "Does Cosmology Provide Meaning" link (I think) that has his statements.

P.S. Yes, that's the one.
