Is this just an instance of a slightly woo scientist-theist failing to take into account that nature might be more imaginative than him?

The stuff you quoted has all the ear-marks of generalizing from one example. Your quip about nature being imaginative reminds me of Think Like Reality.

Personally, I know nothing of the subjects behind the statements. It just sounds like really restrictive statements about something that seems impossible to verify at this point in history.
