Commentary on Smetham’s “The Grand Designer: Can Hawking's Godless Theory of Everything Run without GOD”

Abstract

The string theory perspective mitigates Smetham’s dismissal of the primacy of mathematics as in this statement; "Thus consciousness, not mathematics, must be the primary mover of the universal process”,  which is true except that mathematics may be the basis of a cosmic consciousness that includes perhaps the invisible human mind as well. I presume that visible human consciousness has a physical neurological basis suggestive of a mind/brain duality .
