Abstract
The report on the recent meeting “God and physics” held in Cambridge (August pp10–11) motivated a barrage of negative letters criticizing the meeting, Physics World's reporting on it, and the general idea of physicists talking about religion (October p20). We, however, feel that it is entirely appropriate for physicists and other scientists to talk about God. There are believers in God who are active in science, some of whom are at the highest level of international recognition. Even if religion and science were – as Stephen Jay Gould described – non-overlapping magisteria such that all connection between the two was excluded, it still would not follow that scientists should not talk about God.
