In the Foreword, by Tony Hewish, he gives some account of quantum theory and concludes with what seems to me to be a non-sequitur: "When the most elementary physical things behave this way, we should be prepared to accept religious mysteries such as the existence of God and that God became Man around two thousand years ago." You could just as well use this argument for belief in absolutely anything!
