Yes, I'm familiar with Russell. I'm mostly what is known as autodidact myself, though I have had some formal education. Funny how many of the top thinkers in the past are of this cloth. Mainly due to status quo issues.
His statements are in total alignment with my critique of String Theory minus 'M' as removing Deus Ex Machina.
The Russell Cosmogony was described in his treatise, A New Concept of the Universe where he wrote that "the cardinal error of science" was "shutting the Creator out of his Creation." Russell never referred to an anthropomorphic god, but rather wrote that "God is the invisible, motionless, sexless, undivided, and unconditioned white Magnetic Light of Mind" which centers all things. "God is provable by laboratory methods," Russell wrote, "The locatable motionless Light which man calls magnetism is the Light which God IS." He wrote that Religion and Science must come together in a New Age.
A more ancient version of this would be Moses Maimondides Guide For The Perplexed.
We must shelve our tendencies towards literalism and anthropromorphism as this is what it means to worship an 'idol'.
You might look up The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capfra
the life and work of Ramanujan
and this
for further clews out of the labyrinth.
Thanks for the reply and good luck on your adventure.
