I mentioned Kevin Kelly in an earlier post, and he just popped up again as the editor of an interesting interview in the current issue of Wired. He’s talking with the author of a new book on quantum mechanics who is arguing that the universe is one giant computer (as the Wired editors say in the blurb for the article, thank God it doesn’t run Windows). “The world is information,” says Seth Lloyd. “In the beginning was the Word,” says John. There’s a reason so many physicists are theologians.

“Theology is a ghetto activity as insulated and uninteresting as the Saturday religion pages of the local paper. God knows it’s hard to make God boring, but American Christians, aided and abetted by theologians, have accomplished that feat.”
