Science AND Spirituality - Using ALL our Capacities


     It seems perfectly healthy & reasonable to use ALL our CAPACITIES to learn about & make the most out of life.
 
     "Science is 'most usefully seen as a communal effort of humanity to describe and understand the world and prevent error as much as possible through systematic inquiry'.
     By contrast 'spirituality is an experiential realization of connectedness with a reality beyond the immediate goals of the individual'. 
     ... what they have in common is our human attempt to make sense of our world."
