He never offered evidence of that claim, founder of QM or not and this is just another appeal to authority. His statement is worthless, and he may as well substitute God for any other entity for which there is no evidence. God's existence is not axiomatic.

"God existed before there were human beings on Earth... He holds the entire world, believers and non-believers, in His omnipotent hand for eternity" -- Max Planck (founder of quantum mechanics).

This quote will not be in the next Cosmos series or will be distorted and biased:

"I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."-- Issac Newton

Whilst she does readily admit having used marijuana in the past, and advocates for it's decriminalisation, I personally don't think you need to be high on *anything* but life, to be incredibly excited by how awesome and beautiful our universe really is, and the role that we humans potentially have to play in it's shared future. It's what makes a great physicist, in my opinion. :)
