I think that the main flaw in the argument is that it assumes that well-qualified physicists and mathematicians never get deluded. Or that if they did, they wouldn't be able to hold down their jobs.

Both of these assumptions are false.

I think the main flaw is his argument is that it's wrong. The ad hoc rationalizations flow freely onwards from that, I'd say.

In addition to my aforecited article "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything" (Social Science Research Network, Sept. 10, 2012 [orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2011], 186 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1974708; PDF, 1741424 bytes, MD5: 8f7b21ee1e236fc2fbb22b4ee4bbd4cb; http://ssrn.com/abstract=1974708 , http://archive.org/details/ThePhysicsOf ... Everything ), see also the below resource, in which are six sections that contain very informative videos of physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler explaining the Omega Point cosmology, which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is also required by the known laws of physics. The seventh section therein contains an audio interview of Tipler.

I also provide some helpful notes and commentary for some of these videos.

Personally, I think it has a long way to go to achieve balderdashhood. It's mainly fæcal matter in liquid form from what I can see.

I for one welcome it. There are quite a few narrow-minded people here who love to post their beliefs, but we're light on sheer insanity. It's good variety.
