A Turing machine is any of several machines designed and built by Alan Turing during the Second World War; they were made from old transistor radio components. The term is now, loosely, applied to any device that is incapable of predicting its own termination.
“The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can’t all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It’s a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I’m not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they’re called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation.”
