No. That was before my time :-)
As it is for most of those pencil necked cryptographers at NSA... But most of them know the "Holy Grail" verbatim like it was the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I found that fact quite disturbing... :0)
I can recite Dune books, 2001, Shibumi, and some other favourite stuff, though... Like:
Hmmm... I like Sci-Fi, as you well know, but I've seldom found myself internalizing it to such an extent that I can quote entire passages. But then again, few movies do that for me either...
A complete lack of belief in God might be a problem, then.
As it would be in many parts of the world, such as the Mid-East. Personally, I still believe there are few "deathbed Atheists".. And anyone who believes in multiple dimensions of time and space, with life existing in parallel universes, can hardly justify a belief in "god".
Simply because, as my previous analogy asserts, we have as much understanding and awareness of 4th dimensional (or more) entities as a cartoon character has of the animator/writer. Any entity existing beyond own physical dimensions can interact in time and place on lower dimensions as easily as we can view all points in the 2nd and 1st.
I find more and more physicists subscribing to the belief that science is not anti-god, but rather is the mechanism for revealing a god that we have vainly attempted to contain in a 3-D intellectual vessel.
