"I think there's a structure to both tangible and intangible reality that we're not yet able to understand, though we get hints here and there and record them as science and art and scripture. The structure might be supremely complex or sublimely simple; in fact, I suspect that if we ever get to the bottom of the complexity pile, we'll find it's all simple.

"Am I talking about God? I have no idea. I'm not even sure it's a meaningful question. I don't see how this structure can be an actor, but then again, here we human structures are. The structure itself and our limited grasp of it are consistent with the notion of God as passing human understanding, so I don't rule anything out. Religious question aside, I will say that the bits of the structure I've seen are quite beautiful."
