He defined God as “the embodiment of all the laws of physics,” This comes very close to the increasingly popular “process theology” which is now near the center of America’s great seminaries.
First, process theology is very definitely a minority opinion among Christian and Jewish theologians. Second, saying that God is “the embodiment of all the laws of physics” is to limit God. The universal consensus among theologians is that if you attempt to limit God in any way, you are, by definition, doing it wrong. God set up the laws of physics, God does not embody them. (A bit from Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe just popped into my mind. The Lord Chancellor sings, "The law is the true embodiment of everything that's excellent/It has no sense of fault or flaw/And I, my lords, embody the law!"
