He was a professed atheist.

A quote by the man himself:

"Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn't. I'm an atheist."

I think he was brilliant but the conversation he just had with St. Peter did not go the way he thought it would. He is probably muttering under his breath "How did I get it all so wrong?", and he walks into Hell.



This is also the same "brilliant" man who admitted that with the advancement microbiology and the more we have learned about the cosmos that our universe appears to be intelligently designed. But he went on to say that it is only an illusion and that there isn't really any intelligence behind it. It just a product of billions of year of random chance, not design. So what he was saying is that science points to an intelligent design, but that he doesn't "believe" that it actually is and "chooses" to believe that could have happened with billions of years of random chance. In other words, he chose to reject God unless he had a deathbed experience.
