I still think you are stretching reality to fit your cause.
I met Penrose at a conference a few years back and discussed with him some of my results on the relationship between Gödel incompleteness and artificial intelligence. He gave a public talk on all this quantum consciousness stuff and while the public and media were lapping it up the scientists weren’t. Indeed, from his presentation I got the impression that even he doesn’t really believe this anymore and so I asked one of his long time physicist friends. He, somewhat delicately, said that serious physicists believe this story and even Roger doesn’t really buy into it now, it’s time he moved on. I think the problem here is not so much with the method of science as it is with the fact that science is a social process made up of people whose egos sometimes get the better of them.
As for scientists believing in God. I don’t know what the situation is like in the US, but at least around here among the PhD students and post docs I know they are overwhelmingly atheist.
