Ah. So "The Humanist" *isn't* a magazine? Stenger is an experimental 
physicist, so he certainly has some warrant for expressing his opinion 
on QT. He makes no mention of Penrose or Hameroff in that popular 
article--only Zukav, fer gawd's sake--and just expresses his own 
metaphysical presumptions (which are interesting, of course; I've 
published reviews of a number of his books, and fwiw alerted him to 
several errors of fact).
