Quote preview background for Michael Shermer
How can we find spiritual meaning in a scientific worldview? Spirituality is a way of being in the world, a sense of one__ place in the cosmos, a relationship to that which extends beyond oneself. . . . Does scientific explanation of the world diminish its spiritual beauty? I think not. Science and spirituality are complementary, not conflicting; additive, not detractive. Anything that generates a sense of awe may be a source of spirituality. Science does this in spades. (158-159)
