Leake also brought up Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic novel The Brothers Karamazov, specifically highlighting the section featuring The Grand Inquisitor to illustrate recurring thematic concepts concerning authorities who deny human free will in order to manage and care for the general public. Additionally, he mentioned Francis Collins's book The Language of God, using it to explore concepts related to interpreting the complex genetic code of life as a metaphor for divine communication.
