I don't know, MT, if you can make a blanket statement like that. *BG*

As I have stated above I have been described as quite spiritual yet I am convinced of how vital science is to our lives. And, also as stated above, I can feel a oneness with the world that borders on the mystical. But I can compartmentalize that and identify (for myself) where that feeling comes from, i.e., there is a scientific explanation. That doesn't detract from the feeling.

For me knowing how something is put together enhances its beauty. I know why a sunset carries many hues and fills the sky with glorious light. That does not detract from the beauty that touches something deep inside me (my soul?).

Have you seen the story of Genesis according to Sagan? I will try to find it and add it to this thread. It speaks volumes about the wonder and beauty that science offers us.
