 Physics and the Mind of God: The Templeton Prize Address   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A world freely created by God, and ordered in a particular, felicitous way at the origin of a linear time, constitutes a powerful set of beliefs, and was taken up by both Christianity and Islam.

 Stephen Hawking and the Mind of God
This conception of God needs to be, but here is not, sharply distinguished from that of Einstein; which, I suspect, is for at least part of the time that of Hawking.

 René Descartes [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
With God, then, the inclusion of existence among the necessary attributes is just as clear as the idea of a valley being included in the idea of a mountain.
Descartes reasons that God's perfect and nondeceiving nature would be placed in jeopardy if He had created the human intellect with a such a defect that it could not in general rely upon past convictions, that the intellect did not 'tend towards truth'.
The first of these stems from the fact that the mind and body are distinct and, in particular, the mind is unified and the body is divisible.

 The Mind of God (Paul Davies) - book review
The Mind of God begins with physics, looking at different theories of the creation of the universe, the nature of physical laws and the possibility of a theory of everything.
The long progression through the arguments for the existence of God - the good old ontological argument, the cosmological argument and the argument from design all making their appearance - is a little odd.
These qualms about Davies' broader conclusions aside, The Mind of God is a brilliant exposition of foundational philosophical issues in mathematics, physics and computer science.

 Books in Review: The Mind of God   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The book's title, The Mind of God, was taken from a well-known story about Einstein, who, when asked why he became a physicist, answered that he wanted to read the mind of God.
On the contrary: The Mind of God is rather a reappraisal of reductionism (its sweeping generalizations about the nonexistence of things like the mind and the soul) and a most refreshing if also sober assessment of the limits of mathematics and the physical theories it supports.
Nevertheless, The Mind of God, and Professor Davies' work as a whole, provide a most welcome antidote to such comfortably superficial-and perhaps on that account best-selling-offerings of the very popular Messrs.

Are we indeed seeing the hand of God at work, or perhaps the hand of man?

Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering—the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

As important as Time Out Of Mind is though, both in terms of relevance and musical invention, one thing is generally glossed over in the reviews that greeted it with open arms: It is deadly boring.
Fittingly enough, the shortest and spriest song on either Time Out Of Mind is initially muted enough in its good-timey jangle that it could be coming from a radio at the other end of the bar.
If the first side of my Time Out Of Mind was filled with not-quite rock songs that still tried to muster up some kind of drive in the face of Dylan's fantastically dead performance, side two has our ballads.

The principal aim of this chapter is to document and describe the 'dominant philosophy' of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries: the doctrine that man was made in the image of God.
The link between the human and the divine mind is usually thought to be provided by the faculty of reason, but the Similarity Thesis has also taken the form that the human mind is in fact a part of the divine intellect.
Moreover, there is a version of the Image of God doctrine focusing on agency and finding expression in the view of, for example, Descartes that, at its best, the human will is as free as a will could possibly be.
