There's a quote in one of Robert Heinlein's books that the best way to lie convincingly is to tell the truth unconvincingly.
I didn't want Turner to be a villain or a cliche religious nut. I wanted to portray him as a damaged person who is doing his best to make sense of the impossible. If you feel sorry for him, then I've succeeded, at least in part.
