James Redford is an author of scholarly works whose research interests include analyzing the congruities between science, theology and sociology, particularly in relation to physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler’s Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman–DeWitt–Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE). Born in Austin, Texas and raised in the Leander, Texas Hill Country, he is a scientific rationalist who concludes that the Omega Point (i.e., the physicists’ technical term for God) and the aforesaid quantum gravity TOE are an unavoidable result of the known laws of physics.
