any thoughts on this guy?

he is a well-established physicist with great credentials. his doctoral advisor was Stephen Hawking and he is a tenured professor at the University of Alberta. and his publication list is quite impressive -- one of his papers with Hawking ("Thermodynamics of Black Holes in anti-De Sitter Space") has nearly 1800 citations.

on the other hand, in public lectures he often goes off track and talks about how "I am a Christian" and that "God has created parallel universes in the string theory landscape and that's where we will be resurrected" and "future physics will subsume quantum gravity and integrate an understanding of God into our physics models." he algo goes on rants about physics of consciousness and how it relates to the Many-Worlds Interpretation. seriously, he says this stuff all the time. and his latest paper got sent to the arXiv "gen-ph" category (this is an obvious red flag) and the title of it is literally "Possible Superluminal Propagation inside Conscious Beings". anyone else thinking "alzheimers" right now?
